Exploration of student and preceptor outcomes in a paramedic flipped classroom

Brown, Nicole This case study explored the implementation of the flipped classroom pedagogical model within an initial paramedic education program. The traditional approach to paramedic training often relies heavily on lecture-based instruction, which can limit student engagement and the practical application of skills. This research investigates how shifting to a flipped classroom model, where theoretical content is delivered through online resources outside of class time and in-class time is dedicated to active learning and hands-on practice, can enhance the educational experience of paramedic students. Through a case study approach, data was collected through interviews with students and preceptors and from academic performance metrics from national standardized testing. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on innovative teaching strategies in health education and underscores the potential for the flipped classroom model to address the unique challenges of training future paramedics. Recommendations for further research and practical implications for educators in the field are discussed.
