Using of the flipped classroom learning with a workshop activity in object-oriented analysis and design course

Abstract

A lot of research reported that the active learning, especially the flipped classroom learning has higher performance than the lecture-based learning called the traditional learning. Therefore, this research is experimented on the object-oriented analysis and design course. The objectives are to try the flipped classroom learning with the workshop activity in order to analyze learners’ behavior and to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning system. The aim of the research is to determine the suitability of the flipped classroom learning on the object-oriented analysis and design course, and to find the advantages and limitations of such learning method. The scope of this research is to test on the object-oriented analysis and design course, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University. CourseVille developed by Chulalongkorn University is used as the learning management system. Moreover, the learning materials are Thai lecture videos, and English documents, such as English PowerPoint slides. Furthermore, the examples of activities in the classroom are Thai discussion and group activities, including the learner presentation. The research mythology is to collect data from learners composed of the behavior of the learners, learners’ test scores, the result of the workshop activity and the output of term project. In addition, the collected data from the questionnaires about learner opinions with the classroom observation result are used for analyzing the learner attitude of the flipped classroom learning, and the learners’ scores in the flipped classroom learning are compared to those in the traditional learning. In conclusion, the research results show that the 90 percentage of learners agree that the flipped classroom learning is suitable for the object-oriented analysis and design course, and it has higher performance that the traditional lecture-based learning system.
