| Popis: | BACKGROUND Pulmonary physiology is a challenging, necessary component of pediatric pulmonary fellowship education. Our pediatric pulmonology fellowship program provided this education utilizing a flipped classroom approach but satisfaction with the method was declining. Evidence suggests that adult learners benefit from an engaging lecture method, but no evidence exists to compare the flipped classroom approach to the engaging lecture approach for pulmonary physiology education. OBJECTIVE To develop the most effective physiology curriculum for pediatric pulmonary fellows by comparing the flipped classroom approach to an engaging lecture method. METHODS Five physiology teaching sessions were assigned to the flipped classroom method and 5 to the engaging lecture style. Anonymous surveys assessing satisfaction, utilizing a five-point Likert scale, were completed by fellows at the end of each session. An unpaired t -test was used to compare responses. RESULTS Seven pediatric pulmonary fellows enrolled in the study. The average attendance per session was 5 fellows. There was no significant difference in fellows’ perceived understanding of the assigned physiology topic prior to the flipped classroom versus engaging lecture sessions. Fellows’ perceived understanding of the topics improved after both session types, with significantly more improvement after the engaging lecture sessions. Fellows also reported that engaging lecture sessions were more useful and improved their test-taking confidence. They were more likely to recommend engaging lecture sessions to future pulmonary fellows. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric pulmonary fellows benefited from the use of the engaging lecture style for physiology education. |
