Description

FCCL integrates the flipped classroom (FC) model — flexible, self-managed pre-class videos and in-class group activities — with case-based learning (CBL), a guided inquiry method linking theoretical knowledge to real-world clinical scenarios. The article describes this integration as a combined pedagogical model likely to yield synergistic benefits, producing a teaching effect where "1 + 1 > 2." Students engage in self-directed theoretical learning before class and case discussion and analysis during class, fostering long-term retention of knowledge and clinical analysis abilities, plus communication and collaboration skills.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Requires adequate pre-course preparation by students
• Requires instructors to prepare learning materials such as instructional videos and case designs

Constraints

• Application in surgical education in Western countries requires careful consideration due to time conflicts from demanding schedules

Target Learners

• Undergraduate and graduate clinical medicine students and residents

Learning Goals

• Theoretical knowledge mastery
• Clinical analysis skills
• Communication and collaboration skills

Claims

• Fccl Outperforms Lbl Theoretical Scores Moderate Effect [+M]
• Fccl Outperforms Lbl Clinical Analysis Skills Large Effect [+M]
