Application of Flipped Classroom Teaching Mode in Clinical Medical English Courses
Objectives This study aims to explore the efficacy of implementing the flipped classroom teaching model in clinical English courses for medical majors,with the aim of improving the teaching effect of medical English.Methods A total of 64 students from two parallel classes of 2019 in the Fourth Clinical Medical College of a University were selected as the research subjects.The study period was from March 16,2023 to June 12,2023.The students were randomly assigned to either the traditional teaching group(n=32)or the flipped classroom group(n=32)based on their classes.A scoring method was used to evaluate the teaching effect and satisfaction with the teaching method after one semester.The teaching effectiveness evaluation was conducted through a combination of subjective and objective evaluation,with a full score of 100 points.Subjective evaluation items included self-evaluation,intra-group evaluation,inter-group evaluation and teacher evaluation;objective evaluation item was the final written examination score.The teaching method satisfaction evaluation items included English learning interest,independent learning ability,English communication ability and teamwork ability,with a full score of 100 points.Results Compared to the traditional teaching group,the flipped classroom group exhibited significantly higher subjective evaluation scores(91.73±3.25 vs.87.52±3.50,P<0.001)as well as higher objective evaluation scores(73.33±7.93 vs.67.61±7.13,P=0.004).Notably,the scores of self-evaluation,peer evaluation within the group and teacher evaluation in objective evaluation were all higher.The satisfaction ratings for teaching methods were significantly higher(90.28±3.58 vs.85.63±4.95,P<0.001),with statistically significant improvements observed in English learning interest,independent learning ability,and team cooperation ability(P<0.05).Conclusions The implementation of the flipped classroom teaching model in the clinical stage of medical English courses can effectively enhance the teaching efficacy and increase satisfaction with teaching methods.
