Looking for Students' Enthusiasm: Flipped Classroom

Abstract

The "flipped classroom" is a pedagogical model that consists of putting certain learning processes outside the classroom so that the teacher can devote more class time to students' acquisition of practical skills, for example. In this way, the teacher is not limited to the transmission of course content, but in addition assumes the role of a mediator in the cognitive process, allowing students to actively construct their own knowledge. In this role, the teacher's main task is to encourage students to become independent learners. This paper describes the implementation and initial results of the application of the flipped classroom in higher education. This study is part of a larger research project to improve our students' motivation through the use of the flipped learning. The sample consisted of about 3000 students taking 17 different subjects, in Management and Administration Business, Finance and Accounting, Marketing and Market Research, and Chemistry, at the University of Málaga, and in Accounting and Administration, Business Communication and Marketing at the Polytechnic of Porto. According to our results, students' motivation and class attendance increased with the application of this model; a comparison of the final exam results from two years with traditional classes and from two years with flipped learning shows that the proportion of students failing the exam decreased, which confirms that the use of this pedagogic model improves student learning.

“…However, flipping classroom is the best combination put forward from the perspectives of teachers, teaching, and students, which has the characteristics of sparsity and integration, and can be designed dynamically in physical education. The theory of flipping classroom horizon needs to construct core functions and analyze the experience and requirements in physical education teaching design in order to improve the accuracy of the design scheme Soler et al [ 10 ].…”
