| dc.description.abstract | In this research my main purpose was to find out if the use of flipped classroom as a teaching
method would improve the learning effects in mathematics. One of the main challenges for
teachers today is the lack of time to help each student. Would this improve by using flipped
classroom?
Flipped classroom means that the pupils learn the new theory home by watching a video and
that they work with the tasks at school. This means that all the time you spend earlier at
school working with the theory, now are available to spend on helping each student.
In the study I have used different methods to find answers to my questions. I have observed
the class while they were working. I have made interviews and at the end of the study I made
a survey for the whole class.
The information I got from the pupils, were used to improve and change my strategies in the
research.
The research was made in a small class and because of this I think it is difficult to say how
precise the findings in my research are. One thing I can confirm though, is that by flipping the
classroom gives the teacher a lot of opportunities to vary the teaching at school.
The pupils gave also feedback on the opportunity to see the video several times and also to
use it in preparation before tests was a huge positive thing about flipped classroom.
I cannot say how much flipped classroom improves the learning of mathematics but the
feedback from the students was clear. They would continue this way of studying if they could
choose. | nb_NO |
