Abstract

This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurse educators using flipped classroom methods with learning activities proven to be successful in students' achievement of learning outcomes. Specifically, it aimed to identify the learning activities that nurse educators have found to be most successful in terms of student achievement of learning outcomes. An additional focus of the study was to identify the flipped classroom and learning activity evaluation methods used by nurse educators and examine how those evaluation results were used to further enhance future nursing courses. An important gap in the extant literature related to a lack of in-depth studies on the insights, experiences, and point of views of nurse educators using flipped classroom learning activities. Therefore, the present study posited the following research question: What classroom learning activities have nurse educators used to assist students to achieve course learning outcomes? Additionally, two sub-questions were also considered: (1) How does the use of learning activities help students achieve learning outcomes? (2) How are learning activities evaluated and how are the evaluations used to enhance the learning activities in future courses? A basic qualitative method was incorporated for the study.
