Abstract
This study investigated the effect of flipped learning (FL) on eleventh-grade students’ achievement in chemistry and attitudes toward flipping in Jordan. The research design was quasi-experimental, and 157 eleventh-grade students were enrolled in an experimental group (EG) (n = 81) that was instructed through FL and a control group (CG) (n = 76) that was taught via traditional instruction. Data were collected using a researcher-developed achievement test and an attitude questionnaire. Content validity was established through review by subject-matter experts, and the attitude questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88). It was concluded that the FL model significantly improved students’ performance compared to the CG and consequently resulted in improved understanding of chemistry concepts. Furthermore, students in the EG generally demonstrated favorable attitudes toward FL. A statistically significant gender difference was found in students’ achievement, with female students outperforming male students in the FL group. However, no statistically significant gender differences were observed in students’ attitudes toward FL. In addition, students with lower levels of computer proficiency reported fewer positive perceptions of the FL approach than their peers. In general, the study results indicate that FL can contribute to enhancing science education by promoting engagement and interest in science, as well as motivation toward science and academic performance in science. The research highlights that more research is required on the long-term implications of FL and on how it can be made more accommodating for a variety of learners.
