Nursing students choose their own role in a flipped classroom approach

Many nursing programs are using transformative pedagogical methods to better prepare students “to meet today's complex health care needs” (Benner, 2012, p. 183). Five studies, identified by Njie-Carr et al. (2016), show a flipped classroom approach increased active engagement in class and improved performance outcomes for nursing students. A flipped classroom typically includes preclass instruction and “in-class group interactive activities” (Njie-Carr et al., 2016, p. 134).
