Integration of Flipped Classroom and Problem Based Learning Model and its Implementation in University Programming Course

Abstract

In this paper we report an experiment of implementing a flipped classroom combined with problem based learning approach in teaching a university programming course. We give the method of how to make the pre-recorded lecture videos and how to design a problem-based in-class activities. The results of the experiment show that our teaching approach, compared with traditional teaching approach, is more effective. Students in experiment class get higher scores in the final exam.
