Background: New teaching strategies must be developed not only to enhance nurse's competence but also to allow nurses to respond to the complex health care needs of today's society. The purpose of this study was to explore the learning outcomes of a flipped classroom teaching approach in an adult-health nursing course for students in a two-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.

Methods: The study had a quasi-experimental design. An 18-week flipped classroom teaching approach was applied in an adult-health nursing course. In total, 485 nursing students enrolled in the study, with 287 in the experimental group and 198 in the control group. The Self-Evaluated Core Competencies Scale, Metacognitive Inventory for Nursing Students, Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, and self-designed learning satisfaction questionnaire were used to evaluate the students' learning outcomes.

Results: The experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in the overall scores for self-evaluated core competencies, the "self-modification" subscale of the Metacognitive Inventory for Nursing Students, and in overall self-directed learning readiness; further, they also showed high levels of course satisfaction.

Conclusions: A flipped classroom teaching approach had a positive impact on student's learning motivation and contributed to better learning outcomes in an adult-health nursing course. The flipped classroom combined with hybrid teaching methods is a suitable and effective learning strategy for a registered nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program to tackle today's complex revolution in nursing curricula, and may enhance nursing students' abilities to address numerous challenges.

Introduction: In regions with significant Mandarin-speaking populations, language discordance in health care poses considerable challenges. Previous studies have shown that patients with language-concordant providers had higher ratings of satisfaction and trust. Despite this, there is a shortage of Mandarin-speaking primary care physicians in California.

Unlabelled: Concept-heavy courses such as Biochemistry in life and physical science curricula are challenging for many college-aged students. It is easy for students to disengage in a lecture and not learn the subject matter while in class. To improve student learning participation, we employed a flipped format for the first half of the course and compared learning outcomes and attitudes with the traditional lecture in the second half of the course.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the long-term effects of flipped classrooms (FL) and traditional lectures (TR) on medical students' attitudes and knowledge about geriatrics.
  • The research involved 216 medical students and measured their attitudes, empathy, knowledge, and stereotypes toward older adults over two years following different educational approaches.
  • Results showed that students in the flipped classroom scored better in knowledge and attitudes compared to traditional lecture students and a control group with no exposure, suggesting that teaching methods can significantly influence lasting perceptions of geriatrics in future physicians.

RETRAGAM: Resistance training based on gamification during physical education. Rationale and study protocol.

Children's physical inactivity and increasing sedentary behaviour have become major public health concerns, with a concurrent decline in muscular fitness (MF) contributing to poor physical outcomes during childhood and adolescence, highlighting the importance of developing resistance training (RT) programs. Furthermore, several educational strategies such as gamification seem to increase students' motivation which can produce an increase in performance outcomes. This study describes the rationale and protocol of a school-based randomized controlled trial called "RETRAGAM" (REsistance TRAining based on GAMification).
