Effect of Flipped Classroom Strategies on Students Achievement in Mathematics.

This study examined the effect of the flipped classroom on students achievements in mathematics in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, Nigeria. It examined the impact of a flipped classroom strategies performance of students in Mathematics; it also sought to determine the influence of gender on post test performance (PP) and retention performance (RP) of students towards learning mathematics in the flipped classroom (FC). There are several possible explanations for why the flipped classroom may lead to better mathematics achievement. One possibility is that the flipped classroom allows for more active learning, which has been shown to be more effective than traditional lecture-based instruction. In addition, the flipped classroom may allow for more individualized instruction, which can be particularly beneficial for students who are struggling with mathematics. And finally, the flipped classroom may help to reduce anxiety and improve motivation, both of which are known to be important factors in learning. The flipped classroom, an innovative teaching technique, was introduced as a possible corrective that could produce effective student learning engagement and performance. A Quasi-experimental design was adopted. 100 Junior secondary school (JSS) for Four schools 50 experimental and 50 as control (conventional) intact classes, constituted the purposive sampled population for the study. Two research instruments: Flipped Classroom strategies, and Mathematics achievement Test (MAT) were validated by expects and used for the study. The instruments were also checked for reliability; and lesson note and test instrument. The results of the findings indicated that the flipped classroom encourages good performance in mathematics and should thus be encouraged in schools for being a student centered learning approach. The study concludes among others that teachers should be encouraged to attend seminars and workshops on the use of the approach for effective performance of the learners.
