Abstract:
Technological trends have given rise to the development of flipped learning classrooms. An inverted (or flipped) classroom is a specific type of blended learning that uses technology to separate lectures from learning activities. While lectures will take place outside the classroom, learning activities and concepts practice will take place inside the classroom. This paper compares the learning achievement of two flipped English (ENGL 201) classes with traditionally taught classes at the same university. A longitudinal panel research study is used to investigate the learning environment of these two classrooms. At the onset of the pilot, students were less satisfied with the new orientation, but, they – later - became more open to the new learning method. These findings are discussed in terms of how they contribute to the stability and connectedness of classroom learning communities.
