Enhancing flipped classroom model implementation

Abstract

South East European University (SEEU) is moving towards the use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) to meet the needs of the studies that has been implemented since its foundation. However, the resources and lecturer skills in developing their classroom instruction has caused the learning culture to remain unchanged, especially in master courses. The purpose of this study is to understand the lecturer and students' perception and their achievement between two learning cultures, the traditional classroom and flipped classroom. As a relatively new model of instruction, lecturers need evidence that the Flipped Learning model has an encouraging impact on important student outcomes, including achievement and engagement. To meet this need, the Flipped Learning model (FLM) was applied in the master course Information Technology Project Management (ITPM) offered in the second semester in the master program Business Informatics, under Contemporary Sciences and Technologies Faculty at SEEU in Macedonia. In this study is presented the impact of the flipped classroom model on students' course achievements, the initial experience form flipping the classroom as well as the additional evaluation techniques applied in order to enrich the assessment elements of the student performance.
