Abstract:
In a pilot project, a blended-learning course “Research and Development” was developed. This course is taught according to the flipped classroom principle. To develop the course, the ADDIE-model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) was used. During the evaluation phase, we wanted to learn how satisfied students were with the newly developed course. More specifically, student satisfaction regarding the digital material, the lessons in the classroom, and the course as a whole, was studied. During the penultimate lecture, twelve students completed a questionnaire. During the last lecture a focus group meeting was conducted. In the case of the questionnaire, the respondents agreed, on average, mostly with the positive statements or they answered neutrally. We can conclude that the respondents were reasonably positive about the course. The teaching method was not unfamiliar to the students. However, they felt a need for a better digital infrastructure, more variety in teaching methods and a more directive teaching style.
