Using flipped classroom techniques, theoretical information is made available in advance, allowing class time to be devoted to collaborative group work, analysis of real-world scenarios, and the use of engaging multimedia resources. Informal peer assessment and student interaction-based learning also enhance students' critical thinking and decision-making skills, promoting a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
