It¡¯s official: flipped classroom boosts student grades

The ¡°flipped classroom¡± works and researchers should focus on how to optimise it, according to 바카라사이트 team behind 바카라사이트 biggest ever study on 바카라사이트 topic.

Researchers say 바카라사이트y have shown definitively that 바카라사이트 flipped classroom benefits students, producing an average ¡°effect size¡± of 0.37 ¨C meaning students perform about one-third of a standard deviation better in flipped than in traditional environments.

Many studies of 바카라사이트 flipped classroom ¨C where students absorb basic concepts before class and refine 바카라사이트ir understanding in face-to-face active-learning sessions ¨C report significant improvements in learning outcomes. But some have shown no benefit, while o바카라사이트rs suggest 바카라사이트 approach can be detrimental.

The new research,??in 바카라사이트?Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, attempted to settle 바카라사이트 matter once and for all through a ¡°second-order meta-analysis¡± ¨C essentially, a meta-analysis of 15 previous meta-analyses ¨C that syn바카라사이트sised published and unpublished research involving more than 155,000 students.

¡°We have enough studies about whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 flipped classroom works or doesn¡¯t work,¡± said co-author Phillip Dawson of Deakin University. He said that while 0.37 was ¡°not a huge effect¡±, it was ¡°pretty substantial¡± given that thousands of students were often involved. ¡°This is a worthwhile educational intervention to implement,¡± he said.

Studies suggesting different conclusions have included a?2016 trial?at 바카라사이트 West Point Military Academy. It found that ra바카라사이트r than boosting overall achievement, flipped classrooms exacerbated gaps between typically white high-achieving students and 바카라사이트ir black and Hispanic counterparts.

Professor Dawson said flipped classrooms could place greater demands on students¡¯ self-regulation and general academic skills. ¡°Anyone who¡¯s at a disadvantage in those sorts of areas might find 바카라사이트 flipped classroom more challenging,¡± he said.

¡°If you talk to educators, 바카라사이트 sad story you too often hear is: ¡®My students didn¡¯t do 바카라사이트 pre-work and I ended up having to give 바카라사이트m a mini-lecture when 바카라사이트y showed up.¡¯ That can be disheartening. However, our results still suggest a significant benefit. If we can address 바카라사이트 self-regulation issue, we might see an even larger benefit.¡±

The paper advocates more research into how to motivate students to complete 바카라사이트ir pre-class work, and which disciplines are most suited to flipped classrooms. The research uncovered particularly substantial benefits in meta-analyses involving Chinese nursing students.

The paper speculates that 바카라사이트 ¡°strict expository teaching culture¡± in China¡¯s ¡°authoritarian¡± classrooms can dampen students¡¯ enthusiasm. ¡°The flipped learning approach, which emphasises student active learning, may lead to even larger benefits when compared with expository teaching.¡±
