EFFECT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

EFFECT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  Background of the study

A type of blended-learning training method, flipped learning is a type of flipped learning. It promotes student-centered learning, participation, and success. It is also a hybrid approach, with teachers “combining traditional face-to-face training with an online component.” Tucker (Tucker, 2012). (Tucker, 2012). Teachers who believe in the effectiveness of direct or explicit education and its benefits in the classroom would benefit from using a flipped classroom. In the traditional paradigm of classroom teaching, the instructor is generally the primary focus of a lesson and the primary leader of information throughout the class hour. While the instructor responds to questions, students have varying needs for guidance and responses from the instructor. Individual lessons in a classroom with a fundamentally traditional educational style may be didactic and subject-specific. based. Student interaction in the traditional paradigm may be limited to activities in which students work alone or in small groups on a teacher-designed application assignment. Typically, the instructor is at the center of class discussions, controlling and, if necessary, directing the flow of the topic (Ryback and Sanders, 1980). In most cases, this teaching method also includes assigning students to read from a textbook or practice a subject by completing an assignment. In-class activities are reimagined in flipped classrooms. In-class lessons that accompany flipped classrooms may include action learning or more traditional homework assignments, among other approaches, to engage students in the topic. Here are some examples of class activities: 5 CLASSICAL VERSUS FLIPPED CLASSROOM METHODS Original research, in-depth laboratory investigations

Math manipulative and new mathematical technology examples include document analysis, debate or speech presentation, current event conversations, peer reviewing, project-based learning, and skill development or concept practice. Bergmann and Sams (2012; Bergmann and Sams, 2012; Bergmann and Sams, 2012; Bergmann and Sams, 2012; Bergmann and Sams, 2012) In terms of student and teacher academic achievement, the flipped classroom paradigm has several advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are as follows:

Students should know: Provide students with learning opportunities at various times based on their learning abilities. Improving students’ ability to comment; ensuring continuous access to information Making it possible for parents to assist more children by attending classes; Giving students the ability to take responsibility for their own learning activities Allow students to actively participate and practice on their own. classmates. Teachers should encourage students to be more helpful in the classroom, and interactive activities with students should help to alleviate difficulties with student behavior in classroom management. CLASSROOM METHODS: CLASSICAL VS. FLIPPED Allow students to collaborate in small groups. Allow the instructor to clarify the issues to avoid wasting time repeating them. Allow instructors and students to develop contact (Gençer, Gürbulak, Adgüzel, 2014). Of course, the flipped learning system will have some drawbacks. The flipped classroom technique will not work for everyone, just as classroom lecturing works for some people but not for others. The primary limitation of the flipped classroom method today is that not all students and institutions have access to the tools required to make it work. Students from low-income families and Families may not have access to the computers and internet technology required for the flipped classroom. Every student has personal access to a personal device, which is essential to the framework. This is not true for every child or school district. Students who do not have personal computers or internet access would be forced to use public computers at the library or at school. To some extent, this reduces the intimate and intimate experience of attending a lecture. Because students can complete it on their own time and in their own way, having lectures as homework is extremely effective. Time limits are usually in place on library or school computers, and access may be restricted if the computer is overcrowded.

1.2 Research problem statement

Teachers have used flipped classrooms in schools, but when this technique is used with primary school students, their academic achievement suffers due to a variety of factors. For example, a flipped classroom has two disadvantages. One of them is the difficulty in adapting to the students and behaving in accordance with the flipped classroom standards, which require prior knowledge of the class content. Another disadvantage of the flipped classroom is that it necessitates a significant amount of work and preparation on the part of the teacher.

1.2 The study’s objectives

The following are the primary goals of this research:

l to investigate the impact of flipped classroom on primary school students’ academic performance.

l to discover

discover how effective flipped classroom is on primary school students’ academic performance

l Determine how to improve primary school students’ learning methods in order to improve their academic performance.

1.3 Research concerns

1. Does flipped classroom have an effect on primary school students’ academic performance?

2. Do you believe that flipped classrooms improve primary school students’ academic performance?

3. Can the learning method used to teach primary school students be improved?

1.4 Hypothesis of research

H0: The flipped classroom has no effect on primary school students’ performance.

1.5 Importance of the research

The importance of this study cannot be overstated because:

This study will look at the impact of flipped classrooms on primary school students’ academic performance.

l

This study’s findings will undoubtedly provide much-needed information to government organizations, NAFDAC, advertising agencies, and academia.

1.6 The Study’s Scope

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of flipped classrooms on primary school academic performance in the Akure South local government area of ONDO state. As a result, selected primary schools and students will be used as case studies.

1.7 Research limitations

A number of factors hampered this study, which are as follows:

just like any other research, from a lack of needed accurate materials on the topic under study to an inability to obtain data

The researcher faced financial constraints in obtaining relevant materials as well as printing and collating questionnaires.

Time is an important factor.

Another constraint is having to shuttle between writing the research and engaging in other academic work, which makes the researcher uncomfortable.

1.8 Term operational definition

Effect: a change that occurs as a result of an action or other cause.

A flipped classroom is one in which instruction is delivered online, outside of class. The remainder of class time is spent doing what would normally be assigned as homework.

Academic performance: the degree to which a student, teacher, or institution has met their short-term or long-term educational objectives.
