Three hundred and forty fourth semester medical<br />students attended course. Students were divided into six groups and course<br />contents were delivered into traditional lectures followed by flipping the small<br />group classes. In lectures teacher delivered the topics with the help of multimedia<br />and in flipped class students were encouraged to participate actively.<br />They were provided case scenarios and teaching material before scheduled<br />class. Students’ perceptions were assessed by asking them to fill questionnaires.<br />The post unit test was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this<br />method.<br />Results: Ninety-six percent of students believed that the flipped classroom<br />approach was better in targeting learning objectives than the conventional<br />teaching, 95% thought that the work-sheet with questions provided before<br />class enabled a better understanding of the subject and 85% were of the<br />opinion that the flip class approach was useful to understand the anatomical<br />basis of neurological problems. The unpaired t test showed highly significant<br />differences between the post unit test scores of this batch in comparison to<br />previous batch who were only taught neuroanatomy with traditional teaching<br />modes.<br />Conclusion: Student response to the flipped classroom structure was very<br />positive, signifying the importance of this approach as attractive method to<br />pursue in future years for medical studies.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Postgraduate Medical Institute}, author={Memon, Samreen and Goswami, Pushpa and Iqbal, Aamir Iqbal and Baloch, Saira}, year={2016}, month={Jul.} }
