Abstract

In the current curriculum, students are exposed to the community, through a family case study. During family visits, students are expected to effectively apply theoretical knowledge into practice by advising family members. In spite of receiving orientation; students are not able to advise allotted family members satisfactorily during their family visit Thus, it was felt that use of the flipped classroom a blended learning where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at class would improve student engagement. To find the effectiveness of the flipped classroom method for ability to transfer knowledge in the community setting and to understand the perception. Intervention was done in the 2nd year among students posted for block posting in the department of community medicine. The Flipped classroom model was implemented in the following steps Pre‐class activity, In‐Class Activity, Family case study and assessment. 30 Students posted in the department were enrolled for the study. Attendance for two in class room activities was 93% (28/30). All the 28 students completed pre and in class room activities. Students were graded based on their involvement and participation. The average pretest mark was 8 with SD = 2 and post test was 18 with SD=4. (t = 11.83 and p<0.0001) Feedback was taken from 28 students who participated in all pre‐class and in‐class activities regarding “flipped classroom model.” Students were able to apply theory knowledge gained into practice.
