Methods

This study was conducted in a general science course, sophomore of the Primary Education bachelor degree in the Training Teaching School of the University of Extremadura (Spain) during the course 2014/2015. The class was randomly divided in two groups of 51 and 52 students. For the first group, a traditional methodology was followed. The flipped classroom methodology was used in the second group, where the students were given diverse materials, such as video lessons and reading materials, before the class to be revised at home by them. Online questionnaires were as well provided to assess the progress of the students before the class. Finally, the results were compared in terms of students’ achievements and a post-task survey was also conducted to know the students’ perceptions.

Findings

According to the results, better outcomes were achieved when the flipped model was followed. The percentage of students passing the subject in the same year for the first time increased in more than 10 %. Regarding the final exam, students’ grades in the flipped model were significantly higher than the grades obtained by the students in the traditional setting. Students found the flipped model useful and found themselves more engaged. Students felt that flipped activities were more student oriented than traditional activities.

This article is a Quantitative case study of the flipped classroom. It reviews and provides research on the implementation of the flipped classroom. Classroom teachers were surveyed regarding the flipped classroom. 58 teachers responded to the survey. Of the 58 teachers 21 were brand new teachers with 1-2 years experience. 13 teachers had 2-5 years of experience and 24 teachers had more than 5 years of teaching experience. One class was high school math, one class was a high school Social Science, and one class was an elementary classroom. Each of the 3 classes used the flipped classroom in a variety of ways, including homework help and emailing questions about the lessons the night before class.

Findings

All of the teachers reported increased student engagement, improved student scores, and less incomplete assignments. Teachers felt that it was a lot of extra work and technology would not always work, but they were glad with the improvement from students.  Students felt more support with the flipped classroom method.

Methods
This study followed a veteran teacher as he developed and implemented a two- week unit on The Great Gatsby in a flipped classroom, with technology being central to the implementation. Mr. Riggs was a certified secondary English teacher with over 20 years’ experience and a master’s degree in educational technology who was trying a flipped classroom for the first time.This study took place in an 11th- grade U.S. literature class of 36 students during the spring of 2012. The school represented a typically diverse Southwestern U.S community.

Mr. Riggs planned 4 activities for flipped instruction.

1. Web Quest for background information (a note page for students to complete while they work on a Web Quest linked on the teacher’s webpage)

2. Google Docs quiz for Chapter 1 (a link to the document on the teacher’s webpage)

3. Blog response (questions posted on the teacher’s webpage)

4. Vodcast about the theme of The Great Gatsby (a link on the teacher’s webpage)

Findings
Mr. Riggs found that students were able to understand themes and more difficult concepts associated with the book due to the classroom time that flipping created. The flipped classroom created more time for discussion of the text. Mr. Riggs discussed how some technology that was needed was not available so he had to improvise. He also stated that the flipped classroom improves discourse among students.
----------------------------

Steps for immediate implantation for a flipped classroom

1. Start small. Choose a small unit you already use that could be enhanced by flipped classroom activities.

2. Find three or four activities within the unit that you can flip. The following activities may be a starting place:

• Lectures or PowerPoint presentations

• WebQuests

• Discussion

3. Find out which resources/skills are needed and what is already available, such as these:

• Access to blogs

• Videos or voice-over programs

• School district website

4. Train students to use the technology.

5. Create rubrics.

6. Implement the unit.

7. Prepare to adjust the timeline as students learn the new expectations

Mary Beth Hertz attended an ISTE conference where the hot topic was the flipped classroom.  Mary Beth says there are both pros and cons to the flipped classroom.  She says that a pro of the flipped classroom is that it has truly individualized learning for students.  A con she says is that all students do not have access to technology needed for the flipped classroom.

Abstract

Honeycutt discusses how the flipped classroom relies heavily on students being prepared and ready to engage in the learning activities. If students are unprepared, then it limits what they can do, how deeply they can engage with the material, and how meaningfully they can connect with other students. Honeycutt recommends 5 recommendations to motivate your students.

Abstract

Clintondale High School was named one of the worst schools in Michigan in 2010.  The principal decided to “flip the classroom”. He says that the idea of the flipped classroom came out of a discussion with students about what needs they had. He says that “It’s simply about the amount of support and how much activity you do with the kids in class.”

Findings

In just one year, the freshman failure rate at Clintondale was reduced by 33% in English, 31% in math, 22% in science, and 19% in social studies, and after two years college admission rates rose from 63% to 80%.
