The Application of Flipped Classroom Integrated with ChatGPT in Improving Graduate Education on Choroidal Melanoma
摘要
This study aims to explore the role of ChatGPT-assisted flipped classroom (FC)s in choroidal melanoma education, focusing on its potential to improve learning efficiency, support independent learning, and promote research activities.
MethodsThis was a grouped controlled study. A total of 41 ophthalmology postgraduates were recruited to participate in the FC teaching experiment. This study explored the integration of ChatGPT into FC teaching for medical postgraduates. Postgraduate students were recruited and divided into a traditional FC group and a ChatGPT-assisted FC group. Evaluations included student feedback, classroom performance scores, theoretical examination results, literature review assessments, and time allocation data.
ResultsThe ChatGPT-assisted FC group significantly outperformed the traditional FC group in classroom performance (p < 0.001) and literature review writing, particularly in areas such as structure, citation, and scientific rigor (p < 0.001). Although theoretical exam scores showed no significant difference (p = 0.12), the ChatGPT group demonstrated reduced time requirements for pre-class preparation (p = 0.008) and literature review writing (p < 0.001). Additionally, survey results revealed higher satisfaction in areas such as inspiration, content creation, and efficiency of information retrieval in the ChatGPT group.
ConclusionsThe ChatGPT-assisted FC model is a highly effective teaching approach for medical postgraduate education. While it enhances learning efficiency and reduces workload, appropriate integration of ChatGPT with traditional methods is essential to ensure educational quality and academic integrity.
