Systematic Review and Results of the Experiment of a Flipped Learning Model for the Courses of Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics, Computer Geometry

Abstract

The relevance of this study is determined by complete absence of serious research in the use of flipped learning model (FLM) in teaching students of engineering universities Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics, Computer Geometry (DGECGCG); by the absence of scientifically-based, tried and tested programs and teaching materials for flipped DGECGCG learning; as well as by the need for the development of new, modern tools to support classroom work and forms of students' individual work. The purpose of the study is to examine the current state of knowledge and practice of existing DGECGCG courses, using the "flipped" concept as the main pedagogical strategy. Research methods of the issues were: pedagogical experiment, expert assessment (individual and collective) and cluster analysis (Euclidean distance, squared Euclidean distance, Ward's clustering methods). The experiment involved 25 first-year students of Electromechanical and Mining faculties and 4 lecturers of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics of the Saint Petersburg Mining University. The results showed that since 2012, flipped learning has gained popularity not only among school teachers, but among professors of engineering universities. This article represents a synthesis of qualitative and quantitative researches of flipped learning models in the field of engineering education; students' attitude towards flipped learning, the role of teaching materials as well as the role of professor's personality have been identified. Advantages and disadvantages of this learning model have been revealed. The study proved the absence of scientifically-based and tried and tested programs and instructional materials for teaching students DGECGCG using FLM. The need of further scientific researches of flipped DGECGCG learning models has been identified. Recommendations for training students have been provided. The materials of the article can be useful for Professors in the field of engineering. M. V. Voronina et al. / Systematic Review of a Flipped Learning Model in DGECGCG 4832

The trends and outcomes of flipped learning research between 2012 and 2018: A descriptive content analysis

“…As reported in other systematic review studies in the related literature, flipped learning was systematically reviewed in five publications of Web of Science Core Collection database in the last 5 years (Bond 2020 ; Gianoni-Capenakas et al 2019 ; Karabulut-Ilgu et al 2018 ; Turan and Akdag-Cimen 2020 ; Voronina et al 2017 ; Zou et al 2020 ). Two of five publications were analyzed particularly in engineering education: 62 articles were included between 2000 and May 2015 in Karabulut-Ilgu et al’s ( 2018 ) study, whereas 87 articles were included until 2017 in Voronina et al’s ( 2017 ) study. One publication, Gianoni-Capenakas et al ( 2019 ), conducted a systematic review of the eight qualitative studies on the effectiveness of flipped learning on dentistry students’ learning and perceptions.…”

“…For example, American scholars Voronina and Moroz [8] believe that learning adaptability refers to an individual's positive attitude towards establishing learning goals, completing academic tasks, and the effectiveness of efforts made to meet these needs and adapt to the learning environment. Ramírez et al [9] pointed out that learning adaptability not only involves students' potential for academic success but also includes students' ability to adjust to their own psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors. Scholar Kose [10] believes that learning adaptability refers to an individual's tendency to overcome and surpass obstacles in the learning situation, which directly affects the learning effect of students.…”
