Perceptions of Participants on a Flipped Train–the-Trainers Course for Simulation

The aim of our study was to use the Flipped Classroom (FC) model in a train-thetrainers course for simulation, and learn the perceptions of the participating educators. We worked with a group of 15 educators registered as trainees in the Train-the-Simulation Educator Course delivered by the Department of Medical Education and Informatics at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. In the research, the course materials were converted into an electronic format, after determining the educational goals and contents, and shared with the participants three days prior to the face-to-face training sessions.At the beginning of the faceto-face stage of the course, the goals of the course were shared, and a discussion was held for the unclear parts about the course. Feedback Form was designed by the researchers and used as the data collecting tool in this study. While examining research results, the majority of participants accessed the course materials via their smartphones, were able to access the materials without any trouble, agreed that training enriched with the FC model contributed significantly to their learning.
