Purpose: To explore the application of micro-class combined with flipped classroom in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching for dental students.
Methods: The experimental group included 46 students from grade 2014 in college of stomatology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The control group included 45 students from grade 2013. Students in the control group were taught in traditional method, while those in the experimental group were taught in micro-class combined with flipped classroom teaching. After the course, we compared the outcome of didactic test and skill evaluation about CPR. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the experimental group. SPSS16.0 software was employed for statistical analysis.
Results: The results of didactic test and skill evaluation in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group(P<0.05). The results of questionnaire showed that application of micro-class combined with flipped classroom was appreciated by over 80% students.
Conclusions: The implementation of micro-class combined with flipped classroom can achieve a better teaching effect in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching for dental students.
