ABSTRACT:
The study’s aim is to improve 11 graders’ academic performance in Chemistry through a “flipped classroom”. This action research aimed at understanding how effective “flipped classroom” is in improving academic performance. Research deployed pre/post tests (term results), survey and observation. The study lasted 7 weeks and involved 40 students from 3 classes. It was noticed that 11 graders had difficulties in formulating clear answers in English. The quality of students’ knowledge and their ability to communicate their understanding is considered one of the most important factors for their admission to an educational institution. Flipped classrooms allowed students to complete written tasks during the lesson, analyse difficulties more independently, and eliminate difficulties by comparing answers with other students. This means that apart from academic performance improvement, students developed their autonomy and self-regulation. Teachers created video lessons and uploaded them into the MS teams channel in advance. It was observed that students use more independent learning techniques. Data obtained from the survey revealed that 40% of the students encountered difficulties while completing the task before intervention. Students couldn’t fully complete tasks. 20% of the students said that they did not understand the topic. A small number of students said that there were no problems in completing tasks. At the beginning of the research, Before using flipped classrooms 73% of students requested teacher’s feedback on topics and after research just 40 % of students required teacher’s feeedback.It should be mentioned that only 90% of the students said that they watched the videos. During SAT, students could use relevant keywords.
