Clinical Scorecard: Integrating Team-Based Learning with a Flipped Classroom Approach Improves Surgical Proficiency in Ophthalmology Residency: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial
At a Glance
Category Detail
Condition Ophthalmology residency surgical skills training Key Mechanisms Flipped classroom combined with team-based learning (TBL) Target Population Ophthalmology residents Care Setting Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University
Key Highlights
Experimental group showed significantly higher theoretical performance post-training (p < 0.05) Significant improvement in practical skill assessment scores for the experimental group (p < 0.001) Higher satisfaction levels reported in operational ability, teacher enthusiasm, and self-evaluation in the experimental group (p < 0.05) Traditional teaching methods resulted in longer learning curves and lower efficiency Flipped classroom and TBL approach enhances hands-on practice and student engagement Guideline-Based Recommendations
