Abstract
Introduction
This study investigated the impact of flipped learning versus traditional instruction on medical students’ academic performance and self-efficacy in a haematology course, and examined gender differences. Flipped learning is an instructional approach where students review pre-recorded lecture content at home, and active learning occurs in the classroom. Self-efficacy refers to students’ beliefs in their ability to succeed and accomplish learning goals.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 86 third-year Saudi medical students (46 males, 40 females) in a 10-week haematology course. Students were assigned to flipped learning group (n = 41) or traditional lecture group (n = 45). Both groups completed pre- and post-intervention academic tests and self-efficacy surveys. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests.
Results
The flipped learning group showed an increase in academic scores (p <.05) and self-efficacy scores (p <.05) compared to the traditional group, but between group differences were not statistically significant. Female students in the flipped learning group showed the greatest increase in academic scores and self-efficacy. Most students perceived flipped learning positively for enhancing learning and preparation for class.
Conclusion
Flipped learning promoted self-efficacy compared to traditional lectures in medical students. Gender-specific benefits were observed, highlighting the need to design instruction to meet diverse student needs.
