  1. Does a Flipped Classroom Improve Student learning? Doug Peterson

  2. Problem • Students seem to be struggling with the material and there isn’t always enough time to provide meaningful interventions and opportunities for re-teaching. • There isn’t enough time to really engage in a lot of meaningful lessons in the content. • Too much direct instruction • Not enough reading and writing, inquiry, and labs • More time to give students choice in their own learning

  3. Background-Literature • The flipped classroom can be leveraged to improve instructional delivery and enhance student achievement and satisfaction (Center for Digital Education, 2012.) • The experimental group outperformed the control group on all assignments. The experimental group, on average, scored 12 percentage points higher on homework, 8 percentage points higher on project work, 5 percentage points higher on exams and 8 percentage points higher on the final course grade (Day and Foley, 2006) • Struggling students, no longer give up on homework, but work through challenging problems in class. Advanced students have more freedom to learn independently… [The flipped classroom helps] foster better relationships, greater student engagement, and higher levels of motivation (Tucker 2012).

  4. My Action-Research Question Will flipping my classroom… • Improve performance • Improve engagement • Decrease direct instruction • Allow for more “meaningful” lessons

  5. intervention • Created videos using Explain Everything appon iPAD • Posted videos on YouTube and linked them to my classroom Weebly Site (www.MrPEKFC.weebly.com) • ATP, Photosynthesis, and Cellular Respiration • Assigned videos as homework • Checked notes after each assigned video • Recorded students that did and did not participate

  6. Data collection • Checked for participation in flipped lectures • Compared participation to grades on quizzes and tests • Compared test grade to prior semester exam grade • Survey following test

  7. Survey 1. How many of the flipped class lectures did you watch? All Most Some None *If you answered C or D on question 1, why? 2. Did you enjoy having the flipped class? Yes No Maybe * No matter your answer to question 2, explain your choice. 3. Do you think the flipped class benefited you? Yes No Maybe * No matter your answer to question 3, explain your choice. 4. Would you like to continue with the flipped class? Yes No Maybe * No matter your answer to question 4, explain your choice. 5. If you could make any changes to the flipped classroom to improve it, what would they be?

  8. Positive Opinions • Samir: “It helps me pay attention.” • “It helps me understand stuff more.” • Summer: “It helped me understand all the lessons much better.” • Selene: “I liked them because I enjoyed being able to relax at home, but still learn.” • “I did benefit from the flipped classes because I could stop the video and also when the test came I could go back to the video and re-study what I had learned.” • Julius: “We were able to do more experiments.” • “ I could watch the video as many times as I wanted until I understood.” • Ellis: “We have extra time in class to work on homework.” • Alex: “If I have a question on homework, but I’m at home, I could just watch the videos.” • Micah: “The videos online really help. It fits my learning style.”

  9. Negative Opinions • Darla: “I was busy with soccer and I didn’t always have a chance to watch them.” • “I wouldn’t want to have a flipped class because I still have practice and I wouldn’t have enough choice to watch it.”

  10. What I Learned • Flipping class allows for much more time for activities • It is important to find useful activities • Students prefer the ability to watch class lectures at home • Especially those that need more time to learn • Could improve grades? • What do you do with students that do not watch the videos? • How do they take notes?

  11. Where Do I Go From Here? • Need to try long term • Modification to execution • Need more data • Potential for thesis
