To assess final-year pharmacy students' performance on and evaluate their experience with a "flipped examination" vs a traditional examination for an advanced clinical pharmacy course. Students devised multiple-choice questions for the flipped examination. The Biggs revised 2-factor Study Process Questionnaire was administered before and after the examination to assess any possible changes in the students' perceptions of their level of engagement in the learning process. Focus group discussions also were conducted to further gauge the students' feedback and insights into the flipped examination experience. Changes in mean total study process scores at the deep and surface levels of learning were significant. The flipped examination experience was enjoyable, facilitated a less-stressful learning environment, and improved the students' learning satisfaction, knowledge, and assessment grades. The flipped examination model is an innovative instructional approach that can bring about significant educational gains if designed well pedagogically.
评估药学专业大四学生在高级临床药学课程中“翻转考试”与传统考试的表现,并评估他们的考试体验。学生为翻转考试设计了多项选择题。在考试前后使用 Biggs 修订的 2 因素学习过程问卷来评估学生对学习过程投入程度的看法是否有任何变化。还进行了焦点小组讨论,以进一步衡量学生对翻转考试体验的反馈和见解。深度学习和浅层学习的总学习过程分数的变化具有统计学意义。翻转考试体验令人愉快,营造了压力较小的学习环境,并提高了学生的学习满意度、知识和评估成绩。翻转考试模式是一种创新的教学方法,如果设计得当,可以带来显著的教育收益。
