Subclaims¶

q2 i2 In one university course, average grades were significantly higher in the five cohorts taught with the flipped classroom than in the five earlier cohorts taught traditionally (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, r = .473); the cohorts were non-equivalent and taught in different years, so the comparison cannot isolate the method as the cause. → Torres-Martín 2022

Evidence¶

Torres-Martín 2022¶

Torres-Martín, C., Acal, C., El-Homrani, M., & Mingorance-Estrada, Á. C. (2022). Implementation of the flipped classroom and its longitudinal impact on improving academic performance. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-022-10095-y

q2 · quasi-experimental, non-equivalent groups · i2 · n=1157 · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental non-equivalent groups comparison of grades in the course "Didactics: theory and practice of teaching" at the University of Granada, from 522 students taught traditionally (2010/2011 to 2014/2015) and 635 taught with the flipped classroom (2015/2016 to 2019/2020), analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. Because the groups are successive cohorts, differences between years other than the method (including the added technological resources) are not ruled out. The article reports r effect size .473 with 95% CI [.423–.526], indicating a "significant evidences in data to conclude average grades differ depending on the method applied".

"Considering the usual level of significance α = .05 and due to the fact that p <𝛼 (Cohen et al., 2011), there are significant evidences in data to conclude average grades differ depending on the method applied, being greater in the flipped classroom methodology."
