Analyzing the Impact of Flipped Classroom on Students' Mathematical Academic Achievement and Attitude towards Mathematics

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of flipped classroom on Students' mathematical academic achievement and attitude towards mathematics. This study was conducted in the 3rd district of Isfahan. The research was an "applied research" in terms of purpose and "quasi-experimental" in terms of method. The statistical population of this study consisted of all male seventh grade high school students in Isfahan 3rd district. The sampling method was "sample available". The test group participated in a 10-session flipped classroom method but the control group received an unchanged training during these 10 sessions. In order to measure students' academic achievements, the students' scores were calculated by a formula based on both teacher-made tests of academic achievement in a mathematics lessons prepared by the researcher before and after the intervention and Mathematics Attitude Questionnaire by Aiken (1979). Covariance analysis method was used to analyze the data of this study after obtaining assurance that the necessary assumptions were not violated. The results of this study showed that flipped classroom teaching was more effective on students 'academic achievements than the traditional method, but the change in students' attitude toward math was not statistically significant. Therefore, it was concluded that planning to implement a flipped classroom in high schools can be effective in improving academic achievement in mathematics.
