ENHANCING STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT AND INVESTIGATING STUDENTS’ SATISFACTION IN LEARNING MATHEMATICS BY USING FLIPPED CLASSROOM

Abstract

The objectives of this classroom action research were to enhance students’ mathematical achievement and to survey students’ satisfaction in learning by using flipped classroom. The participants were 32 grade 11 students who enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2019 at a high school. The topic used in this study was Vectors in Three Dimensions. The instruments were 7 lesson plans, achievement test and satisfaction survey. Learning management by using flipped classroom comprised 3 steps: 1) before class, students studied online learning through video clips, handouts and quizzes, 2) during class, teacher reviewed key concepts and students discussed the contents that they had studied from home, solved harder problems, and got individual help from teacher and 3) additional skills or extended knowledge. Data were collected from pretest, posttest, and satisfaction survey. Data were analyzed by using Effectiveness Index, mean, percentage, mode, and standard deviation. The results showed that: 1) the Effectiveness Index of the flipped classroom was 0.8 which revealed that students’ achievement was increased 0.8 from the beginning and 2) students’ satisfactions in three categories: students’ understanding category, learning activities category, and learning atmosphere category by using flipped classroom were at satisfied, satisfied, and very satisfied, respectively.
