Abstract
Engagement is critical for students to meet learning outcomes, yet modern classrooms face challenges with engagement when using a traditional didactic approach. Alternative options include using a flipped classroom where students review content prior to class, and teachers use in-class activities to increase application, analysis, and synthesis of information. This study aimed to (1) explore for changes in student engagement, and satisfaction, and achievement among students in a flipped classroom learning environment between mid and end of semester; and (2) to further explain quantitative results through qualitative student feedback. A convergent mixed methods design was used to recruit sixty-four nursing students in a Midwest U.S. College of Nursing, who completed a survey at mid and end of semester in the Fall of 2015. Students were also given the opportunity to participate in a focus group (n = 36) after the final survey. Most students were satisfied with the flipped classroom approach including before class materials, knowledge check quizzes using real-time response software, and the group test activity. However, participants were unsatisfied with reflective journal writing and group-based in class learning activities. Qualitative focus group data provided an explanation of quantitative results by identifying aspects of the flipped classroom viewed as helpful or not. Themes included small groups, enthusiastic teacher, repetition and application, doubling up on work, engaging, and dislike for course topic. More research is needed on pedogeological approaches to engage modern students, so they are prepared for nursing practice after graduation. The flipped classroom approach, which leverages multiple learning strategies, may be valuable to engage students and promote application of content.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
