Enhancing Student Motivation in a Flipped Classroom: an Investigation of Innovative Teaching Strategies to Improve Student Learning

Abstract

This study aims to examine the potential for enhancing student motivation by implementing a flipped classroom, a novel pedagogical approach. The primary objective is to improve the educational achievements of students. The study included a sample size of 240 participants, consisting of 164 male students and 76 female students. During four months, the participants actively interacted with course materials that were specifically tailored to facilitate the implementation of the flipped classroom pedagogical approach. A questionnaire survey was employed to collect data about participants' perspectives on the adoption of this teaching method. The findings of the study provide evidence for the beneficial impact of flipped classrooms on student learning. Although a portion of the student body experienced feelings of being overwhelmed by the course content and structure, a significant majority of students conveyed that this particular pedagogical approach effectively enhanced their learning experience and fostered a sense of motivation. The findings indicated that a significant proportion of the student population exhibited a favorable disposition towards the implementation of the flipped classroom approach, as well as the utilization of video materials and the Moodle platform.. In conclusion, the present study on flipped classrooms yields promising results for the field of teacher education. Nevertheless, it is imperative to emphasise specific factors during the implementation of this approach., the findings may partially reflect the impact of a novel pedagogical method rather than only the effects of the flipped classroom approach.
