Flipped Classroom: A New Teaching Strategy for Integrating Information Technology Into Nursing Education

[[abstract]]目前護理教育仍以「教師為中心」的傳統講授的教學模式，無法激發學生的批判性思考及培養自主學習的能力。近年來隨著資訊科技快速發展及教育理念變遷，發展出「翻轉教室」的概念及教學模式，它完全顛覆傳統的教學模式，讓e世代學生透過智慧型手機或平板電腦等資通訊科技工具在課前進行相關學習活動，課堂中增進老師與學生互動機會，藉以激發學生思考、引導解決問題，鼓勵合作學習及活用知識，落實以學生為中心的教育理念，此種以學生為中心的教學模式與護理教育理念及培育學生的專業能力不謀而合。在國際間翻轉教室蔚為潮流之際，國內各領域教育界也開始推動翻轉教室的教學模式，然而翻轉教室不論在國內外護理教育尚在萌芽階段，因此本文說明翻轉教室的概念及推展產生的迷思、國際間醫護教育應用翻轉教室的經驗及面臨議題，以做為國內護理教育未來推動翻轉教室教學策略的參考。 The traditional ＂teacher-centered＂ instruction model is still currently pervasive in nursing education. However, this model does not stimulate the critical thinking or foster the self-learning competence of students. In recent years, the rapid development of information technology and the changes in educational philosophy have encouraged the development of the ＂flipped classroom＂ concept. This concept completely subverts the traditional instruction model by allowing students to access and use related learning activities prior to class on their smartphones or tablet computers. Implementation of this concept has been demonstrated to facilitate greater classroom interaction between teachers and students, to stimulate student thinking, to guide problem solving, and to encourage cooperative learning and knowledge utilization in order to achieve the ideal of student-centered education. This student-centered model of instruction coincides with the philosophy of nursing education and may foster the professional competence of nursing students. The flipped classroom is already an international trend, and certain domestic education sectors have adopted and applied this concept as well. However, this concept has only just begun to make its mark on nursing education. This article describes the concept of the flipped classroom, the implementation myth, the current experience with implementing this concept in international healthcare education, and the challenging issues. We hope to provide a reference for future nursing education administrators who are responsible to implement flipped classroom teaching strategies in Taiwan
