Flipped classroom mode for geometry optics teaching and learning: Teachers' perceptions and expectations

Abstract

Integrating active learning with traditional learning in the classroom can actually be done simply. However, teachers are still trying to find learning innovations so the learning process can be focused on each student. One of the learning models that can be used by teachers is flipped classroom. This study aims to analyze the perceptions and expectations of teachers towards the use of flipped classroom models for the learning process of physics. The research model used is a mixed-method with Sequential Explanatory Strategy. The study was conducted in high schools in the Lampung province with the subjects of the research were 60 physics teachers. Data collection used a four-point questionnaire instrument with Likert Scale and interviews. The results of the study showed that teachers had considerable expectations for the use of flipped classroom model. The flipped classroom learning model can help teachers to convey all the physics material easily so as students can understand the material, active, interest with physics, then communication and the relationship between teachers and students will increase. The flipped classroom model will work well if it is supported by appropriate media and teaching materials. The results of this study will be a reference for the next research.
