Abstract

This study aims to identify students’ learning styles of using mobile flipped classroom approach. The theoretical foundation for this study is based on Grasha-Reichmann learning styles and the flipped design of this study is based on Halili flipped learning 4.0 framework. 52 respondents answered the questionnaire distributed to them. The SPSS software version 20 was utilised to analyse the data and collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations). This study showed that collaborative learning style recorder higher mean value as compared to others learning styles such as independent, dependent, competitive, avoidant and participative. It was found that the mobile flipped classroom approach in this research is capable of promoting collaborative learning in teaching and learning process. Researchers suggest that further studies should explore other learning style theories, use varieties of technological tools as well as include a larger sample from different institutions.

Highlights

This study aims to identify students’ learning styles of using mobile flipped classroom approach
The findings found that overall, students emphasize more on the collaborative learning styles 2.88 (0.88), followed by participative 2.80 (0.80), independent 2.76 (0.76), competitive 2.68 (0.69), dependent 2.59 (0.63) and less emphasize on the avoidant learning styles 2.55 (0.60)
The results showed that collaborative learning style recorder higher mean value as compared to others learning styles

Summary

Introduction

This study aims to identify students’ learning styles of using mobile flipped classroom approach. This study showed that collaborative learning style recorder higher mean value as compared to others learning styles such as independent, dependent, competitive, avoidant and participative. Palabras clave: estilos de aprendizaje, estudiantes, método de clase inversa con móbil, modelo de estilo de aprendizaje Grasha-Reichmann. All students have their own learning styles. If a learner is an independent learner, they can work alone and confident to learn on their own If they are dependent learner, they need feedback and guidance from the lecturers or peers. Hamidah et al, (2009) in their study involving several educational institutions in the north of Malaysia found that learners were more inclined toward the collaborative, participant, dependent and competitive learning styles
