The Effect of Flipped Classroom strategy using Blackboard Mashup tools in enhancing achievement and Self– Regulated learning skills of university students

Abstract

The flipped classroom strategy (FCRS) is an innovative instructional approach that flips the traditional teacher-centered classroom into student-centered learning, by switching the classroom and home activities using the available educational technology. This paper examined the effect of (FCRS) on students’ achievement and self-regulated learning skills (SRLS) for 60 students enrolled in Comp101N course. The findings revealed a significant difference in both the mean of achievement test scores and SRLS scale of experimental group students and control group students in favor of the experimental group. A similar difference was found in the pre- and post-test achievement scores of experimental group students in favor of the post-test. The study recommended wider use of the FCRS in higher education and for post-graduate students.
