The aim of our study was to
use the Flipped Classroom (FC) model in a train–the-trainers course for
simulation, and learn the perceptions of the participating educators. We worked
with a group of 15 educators registered as trainees in the Train-the-Simulation
Educator Course delivered by the Department of Medical Education and
Informatics at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. At the preparation
stage of the course, the educational goals and the content were defined by four
academicians working in the field of medical education, and then the course
materials were prepared, and transferred to an electronic format. The course
materials were shared on a pre-set website three days before the course, and
the participants were informed via e-mail. At the beginning of the face-to-face
stage of the course, the goals of the course were shared, and a discussion was
held for the unclear parts about the course. Feedback Form was designed by the
researchers and used as the data collecting tool in this study. While examining
research results, the majority of participants accessed the course materials
via their smart phones, were able to access the materials without any trouble,
agreed that training enriched with the FC model contributed significantly to
their learning. The participants also emphasized some negative aspects: the
video file sizes, videos were not interactive, receiving the videos at a date
longer than three-day period.
