ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different teaching methods—Flipped Classroom (FC) and Flip-Jigsaw—to see which one helps third-year physiotherapy students learn better, stay motivated, and engage more in their classes. The Flipped Classroom approach involves watching videos before class and then discussing the material during class time. In contrast, the Flip-Jigsaw method combines video learning with peer teaching, where students teach each other in small groups. The researchers want to find out if one method is more effective than the other for improving students' understanding of the course content.

To participate in this study, students must be between 18 and 25 years old, volunteering to take part for the first time, and have internet access. They will attend lectures, take tests before and after the study, and fill out surveys about their motivation and participation. This study is important because it aims to provide insights into how these modern teaching approaches can impact education in physiotherapy, helping to improve the way future healthcare professionals are trained.
