Overview of study
• Background
• Objectives and Research questions
• Method and Data
• Findings
• Conclusion
Background
WHAT. Flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the educational traditional arrangement by delivering content outside of classroom and moves activities traditionally considered as homework, into the classroom
Background
HOW then. Content selection
Delivery Tools and Medium
Follow-up discussion in class
Trial 1:Trigonometry (R-Formula)DerivationPrint material
Trial 2:Differentiation (Limits)DerivationVideo Lesson (with choices)
Feedback
• Content was too difficult for students to understand by text alone (Time, medium)
• Students did not do their readings (“Critical” Knowledge, motivation)
• Questions did not assess understanding of what was read (Alignment)
FeedbackWhat happened? Learning points Comments
Not quite sure how to answer questions that followed, or what to fill in the blanks
Assess just the “flipped classroom materials” through recall-and-choose-answer question
Do not have open-ended questions
Have Fill-in-the-blanks, T/F
Implement at midway of unit, lest the students go in “cold”
Objective
HOW now. Content selection
Background knowledge vs New knowledge
Availability and Accessibility
Delivery Tools and Medium
Mode of delivery and Duration
Objective
HOW now. Cognitive Tools
Mathematical Comprehension skills
Self-assessment

Question
HOW now. Cognitive Tools
Mathematical Comprehension skills
Self-assessment
To what extent do learners feel empowered and supported in their learning in the flipped classroom?
Method
Approach: Ground Theory
Subject: 14 classes of Year 3 students
Tools: Thinking routine + Perception survey + Self-assessment
Analysis: Qualitative
Method
Topic: Functions
Topic : R&F Theorem - Polynomial
Topic : R&F Theorem – Roots
Findings
Perception: 13% indicated positive towards FC
Key words :
•Learn on their own
•Make use of class time better
•Helps understand topic better before class
•Test helps ensure thoughtfulness in conducting self-directed learning Responses
Findings
Perception: Negative towards FC
Key words :
•Difficult to understand
•Difficult to do the exercises
•Forgot to do
•No time to doResponses
Student Artefact
Conclusion
Provisions:
Opportunity for students to gain first exposure prior to class
Incentive for students to prepare for class
Mechanism to assess student understanding
Clear connection between activities inside and outside class
Clearly defined and structured scaffolds
Proper time for students to carry out assignments
Teacher facilitation in class + Technological assistance
