Purpose This study examined motivation and learning strategies among prelicensure BSN students in a course taught using the flipped learning model. The hypothesis was that flipped learning may improve motivation and learning strategies of students. Methods A descriptive, comparative design examined motivation and learning strategies used by students in a flipped learning course. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and a demographic survey were administered to 25 BSN students at a Midwestern university. Results Substantial decreases were found from pretest to posttest mean scores for the task value, control of learning beliefs, and help seeking subscales. Conclusion The results did not support the hypothesis that flipped learning would improve motivation and learning strategies. Further research in larger diverse samples of students in a flipped learning course is recommended.
