Comparing Cooperative with Individual Flipped Learning in Elementary School Social Studies

The main purpose of this study is to compare learning levels of cooperative flipped learning with individual one of fifth grade primary students in social studies. The research method is quasi-experimental and the research design is pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population included female students studying in the fifth grade of elementary school in Tehran, district 18 in the academic year 1398-99. The statistical sample consisted of 60 students who were randomly selected from a public primary school and participated in three groups of cooperative , individual flipped classes and the normal class for 12 sessions. The researcher-made test data collection tool (pre-test-post-test) was in accordance with Bloom's cognitive levels by confirming the content validity. Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. Findings from the results showed that flipped learning approach had a significant effect on students' learning and its effect was higher in cooperative and individual flipped groups than the normal method, respectively. However high levels of learning in Bloom's cognitive domain in cooperative flipped group has been greater than the individual one.
