Examining the effect of flipped learning model in flute education on motivation and performance of students

Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to test the effectiveness of the flute lessons conducted with the “Flipped Learning Model” compared to the traditional teaching. In the study, the quasi-experimental design –pre-test, post-test with control group- was used. The study group (n=30) consisted of the flute education students who were studying in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of Karadeniz Technical University Music Teaching Program in the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. "Performance Observation Form" and "Motivation Scale for Individual Instrument Instruction" were used to collect the data. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were applied in the analyses. As a result, it was observed that there was a significant increase in the performance success and motivation of the experimental group students compared to the control group students, and that the program based on the activities of the flipped learning model was more effective and formative than the traditional teaching.
