Abstract
In higher education, resistance to shifting educational methods
presents a challenge in fulfilling the opportunities offered by
new methods. The purpose of the present study is to document the
experiences of a flipped classroom intervention in a Norwegian physiotherapy
programme, from the perspectives of the students and the teachers.
The findings demonstrate that the students’ attitudes were mainly
positive. In particular, the students evaluated autonomous group
work and unlimited access to digital material as positive. The academic
outcomes from the final exam were similar to previous years. Interviews
with the teachers showed that the learning environment associated
with the group work in the flipped classroom was a different and
highly appreciated experience. In conclusion, the present study
indicates that there is potential in implementing digital approaches
in physiotherapy programmes. |
