Impact of Using the Flied Classroom Method in a Secondary School

Abstract

For many years, the school education system represented a lecture-explanatory method of teaching and learning, where the teacher had the role of only an informer and lecturer. But with the development of our society, the goals and requirements of the education system began to change. Time requires the inclusion in the education system of active learning methods, and innovative pedagogical interventions to contribute to the development of cognitive and higher-order thinking skills, and thereby protect students from passive, unmotivated behavior. This paper analyses the impact of the implementation of a flipped teaching methodology in the school education system on the motivation of students studying mathematics in high school. The main purpose of the article is to confirm the effectiveness of the flipped classroom in improving the academic indicators of students related to their attitude - motivation in particular. Having chosen for the experiment a group of 26 high school students, we conducted the statistical analysis. Taking the pretest and post-test consistent with 33 questions from the participants of the experiment, using the analysis of the t-test, we revealed a significant increase in the level of motivation among 9th-grade students. This article clearly shows that the techniques used in the flipped classroom have a beneficial effect on students' attitudes and motivation towards the subject.
