Abstract

While flipped classroom model has been increasingly adopted in competency-based medical education, it poses great challenge on students who have not mastered self-regulated learning strategies. Using survey data, this study explored 146 first- and second-year medical students’ use of self-regulated leaning strategies and how it affected their learning performance. Regression analysis found that students’ use of peer learning and help seeking, respectively, positively affected first- and second-year students’ performance gain. On the contrary, the use of rehearsal had a negative effect on students’ learning gain. This study suggested building a learning community where students can not only learn but also support each other is of significant importance for their academic achievement.
