Abstract
This paper examined the flippedclassroom strategy as a method in the teaching-learning process in the Nigerian educational system. Issues, problems and the prospectsof flipped classroom strategy on junior secondary school students’ performance was also examined in science class specifically. The study adopted a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, control group design. Four null hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The sample consisted of 120 junior secondary school II Basic Science students selected through multistage random sampling technique. The instrument that was used for the study was Basic Science Achievement Test (BSAT). It is a self-designed instrument that consisted of information on bio-data of the respondents and 40 multiple-choice items. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics of t-test. The study found out that there was a significant difference between the posttest means scores of students exposed to flipped classroom strategy and conventional strategies. It was also revealed in the study that there was no significant difference between the posttest means scores of male and female students exposed to flipped classroom strategy and conventional strategies. Based on this finding, it was recommended among other things that the Nigerian government should organize a seminar among the teachers in secondary schools in each state on the effective use of flipped classroom strategy in their various classes to enhance performance.

H1: There is no significant difference between the pretest mean scores of students exposed to flipped classroom strategy and conventional strategy
The mean total scores and standard error obtained from the pretest mean scores of students exposed to flipped classroom strategy and conventional strategy were subjected to t-test analysis at 0.05 level of significance
Summary
Nigeria today is undergoing major transformations which are multidimensional, affecting the technological, economic, social, cultural and political development of human communities. Education in the generic and global context is a strategic instrument for technological and economic transformation. The focus of education system all over the world is the development of the human capital required to meet present and future challenges of globalization (Dike, 2014). The enviable position of Science education system of most countries of the world, including Nigeria is perhaps justifiable. All students must learn and pass it at the Junior Secondary School level before they can advance to the senior level.Despite the importance of Basic Science to mankind and the efforts of researchers to improve on its teaching and learning, the performance of students in the subject is still not encouraging. The rate and degree of failure could not be determined but may be as a result of factors like teacher’s qualification, school environment, teaching strategies among others(Adu & Adeyanju, 2013)
