Flipped vs. Blended (Preliminary Results)• Significantly higher performance for all

students together (14%, 18% Mixed)• Not significantly different for free-response

questions• Self-efficacy lower (10%, 13% higher Mixed)• Not significantly different classroom

environment other than individualization!
