Abstract

Background: Neuroanatomy is essential to clinical neurosciences and is one of the most difficult components of the anatomy curriculum. Flipped classrooms are one of the pedagogical approaches that have been found to enhance students' abilities and encourage in-depth learning. The current study aims to assess the attitudes and effects of flipped classrooms on neuroanatomy teaching among medical students compared to traditional classrooms.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out during the period January through June 2023. The effectiveness of teaching neuroanatomy in flipped classrooms versus traditional classrooms was assessed using formative assessment and a pre-designed structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was composed of four sections assessing different domains on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

Results: The total sample reached 214 students. Most students' attitude statements covering skills, knowledge and learning process, and length of time were significantly in favor of flipped teaching at the expense of traditional teaching. Then mean examination grades were significantly higher for pre-test flipped and post-test flipped in comparison to pre-test and post-test traditional examination.

Conclusions: Although the flipped classroom is an effective method of learning neuroanatomy as compared to traditional classes, it faces some challenges in its implementation. Such challenges need awareness and solutions from educational institutions.

翻转课堂中的神经解剖学教学：医学生的态度和对成绩的影响。

背景：神经解剖学对临床神经科学至关重要，也是解剖学课程中最难的部分之一。翻转课堂是一种教学方法，被认为可以提高学生的能力并鼓励学生深入学习。本研究旨在评估翻转课堂与传统课堂相比对医学生神经解剖学教学的态度和效果：在 2023 年 1 月至 6 月期间开展了一项准实验研究。采用形成性评估和预先设计的结构化问卷，评估了神经解剖学在翻转课堂与传统课堂中的教学效果。问卷由四个部分组成，以1（非常不同意）到5（非常同意）的李克特量表对不同领域进行评估：样本总数为 214 名学生。大多数学生在技能、知识和学习过程以及时间长度等方面的态度陈述都明显倾向于翻转教学，而不是传统教学。与传统考试相比，翻转考试前和翻转考试后的平均考试成绩明显更高：虽然与传统课堂相比，翻转课堂是一种有效的神经解剖学学习方法，但它在实施过程中也面临着一些挑战。这些挑战需要教育机构的认识和解决。

期刊介绍： Clinical Anatomy is the Official Journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists and the British Association of Clinical Anatomists. The goal of Clinical Anatomy is to provide a medium for the exchange of current information between anatomists and clinicians. This journal embraces anatomy in all its aspects as applied to medical practice. Furthermore, the journal assists physicians and other health care providers in keeping abreast of new methodologies for patient management and informs educators of new developments in clinical anatomy and teaching techniques. Clinical Anatomy publishes original and review articles of scientific, clinical, and educational interest. Papers covering the application of anatomic principles to the solution of clinical problems and/or the application of clinical observations to expand anatomic knowledge are welcomed.
