- Abstract
Brief Background The dental students usually score well in theory but they lack in analytical skills, reasoning ability and problem solving. So it is necessary to make the dental students equipped with critical thinking, problem solving and decision making. This is only possible if the teaching technology is improved. The shift from traditional learning to blended learning could be a best solution. So, there was a need to evaluate the effectiveness of blended learning over traditional learning. Objective The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementation of flipped classroom model on second BDS students, quantitatively and to evaluate the knowledge gained. Materials and Methods This study was conducted on second BDS students for the subject of Dental Materials with a sample size of 80. The students were divided randomly into two groups of 40 each. Both the groups were given a pre-test to assess the knowledge. After the implementation of Flipped classroom, post-test was conducted to evaluate gain in knowledge and to see the effect quantitatively. An independent 't' test was carried out to see the significant difference between Flipped classroom and traditional classroom model. Results The quantitative analysis showed that the flipped classroom model is significantly better than the traditional classroom model. But statistically, the knowledge assessment showed insignificantly different results. Summary and Conclusions The flipping of traditional classroom is necessary and should be implemented to health care students.
