The effects of flipped learning approach on the academic achievement and attitudes of the students

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of activities based on ‘Flipped Learning’ approach on students' academic achievement and attitudes toward mathematics in mathematics lessons. A mixed method approach is used in this study. Quantitative data were collected through the academic achievement test developed by the researchers and the Mathematical Attitude Scale developed by Inan (2014). The qualitative data were obtained from the semi-structured interview form and the learning logs of the mathematics lessons that the students kept during the activities. In the analysis of quantitative data of the study, Statistical Package of Social Science programme was used to calculate and analyse arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test. In the analysis of qualitative data, content analysis was used. It is found that ‘Flipped Learning’ approach positively affect students' academic achievement and attitudes toward mathematics in mathematics lessons. Keywords: Flipped learning, mathematic instruction, academic achievement.
