The application of flipped classroom to teaching diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma in ophthalmology undergraduate education: a randomized study

The Study on Flipped Classroom in Ophthalmology Education

Overview

This study explored how effective the flipped classroom method is for teaching diabetic retinopathy (DR) and glaucoma to medical students. Conducted at Peking Union Medical College, it involved 93 students divided into two groups.

Key Findings

  • Group A learned about diabetic retinopathy through a flipped classroom and attended a regular class on glaucoma.
  • Group B experienced the opposite: a flipped classroom on glaucoma and a regular class on diabetic retinopathy.
  • Exam scores were slightly better for topics taught in the flipped classroom, though not significantly different.
  • A post-class questionnaire showed a high satisfaction rate of 93.48%, with many students feeling that the flipped classroom improved their learning compared to traditional lectures.

Practical Solutions and Value

While the flipped classroom method showed promise, there are areas for improvement, such as:

  • Enhancing students’ understanding of basic concepts.
  • Increasing student engagement in the learning process.

This approach can be effectively applied to teaching diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, yielding positive results.

Importance of Clinical Trials
