About this trial

Study Summary:

This quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test study aims to compare the effects of Flipped Classroom (FC) and Flip-Jigsaw instructional models on theoretical knowledge acquisition, academic motivation, and class engagement among 86 third-year physiotherapy undergraduates enrolled in a theory-based public health course.

Primary Questions:

How does the hybrid Flip-Jigsaw model impact learning and motivation outcomes compared to FC alone?

Do FC and Flip-Jigsaw differ in enhancing theoretical knowledge, motivation, and participation?

Comparison: Researchers will compare the FC group (pre-class videos + in-class discussions) with the Flip-Jigsaw group (video-based pre-learning + structured peer teaching) to evaluate differences in outcomes.

Participant Tasks:

Attend lectures and complete pre-/post-knowledge tests.

Engage in practical sessions (FC: group discussions; Flip-Jigsaw: peer-led jigsaw activities).

Complete motivation surveys and participation assessments.

Significance: Addresses the gap in understanding Flip-Jigsaw's efficacy in physiotherapy education, despite prior reports on FC and Jigsaw's individual benefits.
