Background of the study
Flipped learning is a type of blended-learning approach of instruction. It promotes learning that is focused on the learner, as well as involvement and accomplishment. It's also a hybrid method, with teachers combining "traditional face-to-face instruction with an online component" (Tucker, 2012). A flipped classroom is ideal for teachers who believe in the efficacy of direct or explicit instruction and its benefits in the classroom. In the traditional classroom teaching paradigm, the instructor is usually the main focus of a lecture and the main leader of information during 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-oriented. In the traditional paradigm, student engagement is limited to activities in which students work alone or in small groups on an application task created by the teacher. The teacher normally sits in the middle of class discussions, regulating and, if necessary, influencing the course of the conversation (Ryback and Sanders, 1980). This teaching style usually includes assigning students the task of reading from a textbook or practicing a subject by completing an assignment. The in-class activities in flipped classrooms are reinvented. In-class courses that accompany flipped classrooms may include action learning or more traditional homework assignments, among other ways, to engage students in the topic. Some examples of class activities are as follows: using five traditional vs. flipped classroom techniques Extensive laboratory investigations, original document analysis, debate or speech presentation, current event discussions, peer review, project-based learning, and skill development or idea practice are all examples of math manipulative and innovative mathematical technology (Bergmann and Sams, 2012). In terms of student and teacher academic success, the flipped classroom model offers numerous advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are as follows:
Students should read: Provide students with learning opportunities at various times based on their learning capacities; Improving students' ability to comment; Providing continual access to information; Providing opportunities for parents to support more children by attending courses; Providing pupils with the ability to take charge of their own learning activities Allow students to actively collaborate and practice on one another. Teachers should provide opportunities for pupils to be more helpful in the classroom, and engaging activities with students should help to alleviate problems with student behavior in classroom management. Methods used in traditional classrooms versus those used in flipped classrooms Students should be able to work in small groups. Allow the teacher to clarify the issues in order to prevent wasting time repeating them. Allow for the establishment of instructor-student relationships (Gençer, Gürbulak, Adgüzel, 2014). The flipped learning paradigm will, of course, have certain disadvantages. The flipped classroom method will not work for everyone, just as classroom lecture does not work for everyone. The biggest constraint of the flipped classroom technique today is that not all students and institutions have access to the resources necessary to make it function. Lower-income children and families may lack access to the computers and internet equipment required for the flipped classroom. Every student has his or her own unique gadget, which is essential to the framework. This is not the case for every student or school district. Students who do not own a computer or have access to the internet would be forced to use public computers at the library or at school. To some extent, this detracts from the close and intimate experience of attending a lecture. Because students may finish it on their own time and in their own way, having lectures as homework is extremely successful. Time limits are normally in place on library or school computers, and access may be restricted if the computer is congested.
1.2 Statement Of Research Problem
Teachers have used flipped classrooms in schools, however when this method is used with primary school pupils, their academic success suffers due to a number of factors (Gençer, Gürbulak, Adgüzel, 2014). For example, a flipped classroom has two disadvantages. One of them is the difficulty in adjusting to the pupils and functioning in accordance with the flipped classroom principles (Tucker, 2012), which require prior knowledge of the class material. Another disadvantage of the flipped classroom is that it necessitates a significant amount of effort and preparation on the part of the teacher.
1.3 Objectives Of The Study
The primary objective of this study are as follows:
- To find out the effect of flipped classroom on the academic performance of primary school pupils.
- To find out how effective flipped classroom is on the academic performance of primary school pupils
- To find out how to improve learning method of primary school pupil in other to improve their academic performance.
1.4 Research questions
1. Does flipped classroom have effect on the academic performance of primary school pupil?
2. Do you think flipped classroom is effective on the academic performance of primary school pupils?
3. Can learning method of teaching primary school pupils be improved upon?
1.5 Research hypothesis
H0: flipped classroom does not affect performance of primary school pupils
1.6 Significance of the study
The significance of this study cannot be underestimated as:
This study will examine the effect of flipped classroom on academic performance of primary school pupils.
The findings of this research work will undoubtedly provide the much needed information to government organizations, NAFDAC, advertising agenciesand academia.
1.7 Scope of the study
This study intends to examine the effect of flipped classroom on academic performance of primary school in Akure South local government area of ONDO state. Hence, selected primary schools and pupils will be used as a case study.
1.8 Limitations of the study
This study was constrained by a number of factors which are as follows:
just like any other research, ranging from unavailability of needed accurate materials on the topic under study, inability to get data
Financial constraint , was faced by the researcher ,in getting relevant materials and in printing and collation of questionnaires
Time factor: time factor pose another constraint since having to shuttle between writing of the research and also engaging in other academic work making it uneasy for the researcher
1.9 Operational definition of terms
Effect: a change which is a result or consequence of an action or other cause.
Flipped classroom: a flipped classroom, the instruction is delivered online, outside of class. ... Then, class time is spent doing what ordinarily may have been assigned as homework.
Academic performance: the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has attained their short or long-term educational goals.
