Exploration and Application of the Flipped Classroom Based on Outcome-Oriented Educational Principles in Vocational Nursing Practical Training

Abstract

Purpose: To explore the practical effects of using the flipped classroom approach based on outcome-oriented educational concepts in nursing practical training at vocational colleges. Methods: From February 2023 to February 2024, a total of 62 nursing trainees from our school were sampled and randomly divided into a study group and a control group using a randomized controlled trial design, with 31 students in each group. The control group received conventional training, while the study group received practical training based on the outcome-oriented educational concept in flipped classrooms. Comparison was made between the two groups on assessment scores, teaching satisfaction, and self-directed learning ability ratings. Results: Statistical comparisons showed that the study group’s assessment scores, teaching satisfaction, and self-directed learning ability ratings were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The flipped classroom model based on outcome-oriented educational concepts in nursing practical training at vocational colleges can improve students’ assessment scores and self-directed learning abilities, and enhance teaching satisfaction, demonstrating potential for wider application and dissemination.
