Brief Summary

This study is planned to determine the impact of education provided with the flipped learning model on nursing students' thorax and heart knowledge and self-directed learning skills. This study adopted a pretest-posttest openlabel randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will consist of second-year students studying at a Nursing Department of a university in Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year.According to the power analysis, it was determined that the study needs to be conducted with a total of 100 students, with 50 students in the experimental group and 50 students in the control group.The experimental group participants were trained using the flipped learning model.For the control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods.The data for the study will be collected using the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-Regulated Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)."The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS 15 software.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form

  This form, created based on the literature (Tuzer et al., 2016), includes pretest and posttest to measure the levels of knowledge about thoracic-lung and cardiac examinations. There are a total of 20 questions worth 100 points each related to thoracic and cardiac examinations in the tests. The questions in the tests consist of 20 multiple-choice questions.

Flipped learning

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group will receive digital materials (such as explanatory and demonstration videos, Edpuzzle, etc.) prior to the topic. The links to these materials will be sent to the students, who can access them via their mobile phones and watch the explanatory and demonstration videos as many times as they wish. Subsequently, the topic "Thorax and Heart Examination" will be presented to the students. They will summarize the information learned from the videos and engage in question-answer sessions and discussions using prepared digital resources to address any points they do not understand. To reinforce the practices in the experimental group, online word clouds and quizzes will be sent. All activities will be conducted at an appropriate time for the students.

Other: Flipped Learning

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Students who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will be administered the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" (pretest). Control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods. No additional resources will be provided to the students for preparation. The topic will be presented using a PowerPoint presentation, and question-answer sessions, demonstrations, and discussions will be conducted. After the presentation, and again 4 weeks later, the "Thorax and Heart Examination Knowledge Assessment Form" and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" will be administered to the both groups for evaluation (posttest).

Interventions

Flipped Learning OTHER

Materials for students' pre-class studies and for use by the instructor during class will be created by the researchers. For students in the experimental group to come prepared for class according to the flipped learning model, digital materials will be prepared by the researchers. The experimental group will receive digital materials prior to the topic. The links to these materials will be sent to the students, who can access them via their mobile phones and watch the explanatory and demonstration videos as many times as they wish. Subsequently, the topic will be presented to the students. They will summarize the information learned from the videos and engage in question-answer sessions and discussions using prepared digital resources to address any points they do not understand. To reinforce the practices in the experimental group, online word clouds and quizzes will be sent.
