Unlocking learning potential: An experimental study on the impact of TPACK-enhanced flipped learning in mathematics education

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Flipped Learning Model (FLM) with the support of Technology Pedagogy Content Knowledge (TPACK) instructional design on the academic performance of secondary school students in mathematics. The study involved 45 sixth-grade students from a public school in the Akdeniz district of Mersin, Turkey, during the 2022- 2023 academic year. Among the randomly selected sample, 24 students comprised the experimental group, while 21 students constituted the control group. The study utilized the experimental research method, a quantitative approach, and employed pretest-posttest achievement tests as data collection tools. Data analysis was carried out using a descriptive analysis method. The findings from this study indicate a positive contribution to students' academic achievement when FLM is supported with TPACK instructional design. This research provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of integrating the Flipped Learning Model with TPACK instructional design in the context of secondary school mathematics education, offering a promising avenue for enhancing students' academic performance and learning outcomes.
