Flipped Learning in Physiotherapy Education
Sponsor: Lokman Hekim University
Summary
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of flipped learning in an undergraduate physiotherapy and rehabilitation course on urogenital and maternal health. In flipped learning, students review digital learning materials before class, while class time is used for case discussions, problem-solving activities, group work, and clinical reasoning exercises. Third-year physiotherapy and rehabilitation students enrolled in the Urogenital and Maternal Health in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation course will be invited to participate. The study will compare students' clinical decision-making and academic performance after conventional teaching and after flipped learning activities. Student satisfaction with the flipped learning method will also be assessed. In addition, individual interviews will be conducted with a subgroup of volunteer students to explore their learning experiences. Participation in the research will be voluntary and will not affect course grades. The study involves educational activities, questionnaires, written assessments, and optional audio-recorded interviews; no medical intervention or biological sample collection will be performed. The findings may help improve student-centered teaching approaches in physiotherapy and rehabilitation education.

Interventions
Flipped Learning
The flipped learning intervention will be delivered during the second module of the "Urogenital and Maternal Health in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation" course. Before each class session, students will receive digital learning materials at least one week in advance, including recorded video lectures, readings, book chapters, articles, audio presentations, quizzes, and short assessment questions. Students will review the assigned materials before attending class. During class, the instructor will provide a brief 10-15-minute review of the topic, followed by active learning activities including case discussions, clinical problem-solving, group work, and clinical reasoning exercises. At the end of each session, students will complete a reflective practice form based on the Reflective Practice Cycle. The intervention will be implemented as part of the regular course curriculum. Participation in research-related assessments will be voluntary and will not affect students' course grades.
