Efficacy of the Flipped Classroom Model on Students at Jorge Basadre Grohmann National University of Tacna in English Learning

Abstract

Numerous higher education institutions are now committed to using The Flipped-Classroom Model to improve educational processes and benefit all members of their institutions via online instruction. According to a preliminary study conducted by the researchers, teachers have not yet fully embraced the Flipped Classroom idea. Thus, the primary purpose of this research is to investigate the efficacy of the flipped classroom model in English Learning among students enrolled in the Foreign Language Specialty at Jorge Basadre Grohmann National University in Tacna. The study was applied in nature and used a single group in a pre-experimental design. The population consisted of 232 students from that Specialty, and a non-probability sample of 50 students from the X cycle was used to determine the population. To collect data, a test (pre-and post-test) was administered; it was an international Exam Sample Level B1 (PET) with a maximum score of 170 points. The pre-test results indicated that most students (90%) were at level A2, whereas the post-test indicated that they were at level B1 (66%). Consequently, it was determined that the Flipped Classroom Model improves students’ English skills.
