SUMMARY

This article examines the impact of the flipped classroom strategy on academic achievement, self-confidence, and perception of nursing students compared to conventional teaching methods. In this study, the authors conducted a comparative analysis between two groups of nursing students: one group taught using the flipped classroom strategy and the other group using conventional teaching methods. Academic achievement was assessed through exams and assignments, while self-confidence and perception were evaluated through self-report measures.

The study's findings indicate that students in the flipped classroom group demonstrated higher academic achievement than those in the conventional teaching group. Additionally, students in the flipped classroom group reported increased self-confidence in their learning abilities and a more positive perception of the learning experience than their counterparts in the conventional teaching group.

These results suggest that the flipped classroom strategy has a positive impact on nursing students' academic performance, self-confidence, and perception of their learning experience. The flipped classroom approach, characterized by pre-recorded lectures for home study and interactive activities during class time, enhances students' engagement, understanding, and confidence in their learning process.

Overall, the study underscores the potential benefits of implementing the flipped classroom strategy in nursing education, providing valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance student learning outcomes and experiences in academic settings.

Implications:

The impact of the flipped classroom strategy on nursing students' academic achievement, self-confidence, and perception carries several implications for higher/school education, faculty, administrators, and policymakers:

Enhanced Academic Achievement:

The findings of this study suggest that the flipped classroom strategy can contribute to enhanced academic achievement among students. Educators and curriculum developers should consider integrating flipped classroom methodologies into education programs to optimize learning outcomes and improve student’s performance on assessments and assignments.

Promotion of Self-Confidence:

Implementing the flipped classroom approach may help foster self-confidence among students in their learning abilities. By providing students with opportunities for self-directed learning and active engagement, educators can empower students to take ownership of their education and develop confidence in their knowledge and skills.

Positive Perception of Learning Experience:

The study indicates that students have a more positive perception of their learning experience when exposed to the flipped classroom strategy. Educators should strive to create engaging and interactive learning environments that promote active participation, collaboration, and critical thinking, thereby enhancing students' overall satisfaction with their education.

Professional Development for Educators:

Educators and faculty may benefit from professional development opportunities focused on implementing flipped classroom strategies effectively. Training programs should provide educators with guidance on designing flipped classroom activities, creating engaging instructional materials, and facilitating meaningful discussions and activities during class time.

Resource Allocation and Infrastructure Support:

Institutions should consider allocating resources and providing infrastructure support to facilitate the implementation of flipped classroom strategies. This may include investing in technology-enhanced learning tools, providing access to online resources and platforms, and offering support services for faculty and students to navigate the flipped classroom environment effectively.

Curriculum Revision and Adaptation:

Curriculum developers and administrators should revisit the existing education curricula to incorporate flipped classroom methodologies where appropriate. By aligning course objectives, content, and assessments with the principles of the flipped classroom approach, educators can create cohesive and effective learning experiences for nursing students.

Research and Evaluation:

Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of the flipped classroom strategy on education outcomes, including retention rates, clinical

competency, and career readiness. Evaluating the impact of flipped classroom interventions across diverse programs and student populations can provide valuable insights for future educational initiatives and policy decisions.

In conclusion, "Effect of Flipped Classroom Strategy Versus Conventional Teaching Methods on Academic Achievement, Self-confidence, and Perception of Nursing Students" underscores the potential benefits of implementing flipped classroom methodologies in nursing and other education. By embracing innovative teaching strategies and creating supportive learning environments, educators can empower nursing and other students to succeed academically, develop confidence in their abilities, and cultivate a positive perception of their learning experience.
