Enhancing Teaching and Learning Technique via Flipped Learning: A Case Study

Abstract

The demand for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been surging significantly due to the increasing the number of students and limited resources. Flipped Learning (FL) is a key technique in ICT to enhance Teaching and Learning (T&L) techniques. In FL, students attain necessary knowledge before class and teacher supervises actively to clarify and apply that knowledge during the class. With FL, students take responsibility to give frequent feedback on the course, in other words, the student role transforms from passive recipient to active constructor. Eventually, enhancement of T&L is achieved via FL. In this paper, a case study for both Traditional Learning (TL) and FL is performed for final year students of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) during the year 2017. Further, Feedback Index (FI), Examination Result (ER) and Attainment Level of Course Outcome (ALCO) are considered as metrics of T&L performance in our case study. The computer simulation results confirm that FL technique is superior when compared to TL.
