Abstract

A flipped classroom is the method of teaching which aims to increase student engagement by flipping the paradigm of the traditional lecture-based classroom. We would like to explore if the flipped classroom improves students' academic performance compared with the traditional classroom. We used the data set of MATH-10700: Calculus With Algebra A and MATH-10800: Calculus With Algebra B conducted by an instructor, Prof. Ronda Kirsch, from 2011 fall to 2020 spring at The College of Wooster. We used the one-way and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find the evidence to prove that there exists an effect of flipped classroom strategy on student performance. We then classified the students into the beneficial groups or disadvantaged groups by gender depending on the different levels of influence of the flipped classroom strategy.
