Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the flipped classroom
and motivation were measured by Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Course
employed for this study. A total of 82 high-school students participated in this study
and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group (41) was
taught trigonometry using the flipped classroom method while the control group
(41) was taught utilizing traditional teaching methods. The researchers employed
significant difference in the learning achievement and motivation between the two
groups with students performed better using the flipped classroom. Further analysis

Two conclusions can be drawn from the above review of studies. First, although
research in the flipped classroom has been growing significantly in recent years,
settings. Second, we have not found any study that investigated its effect on

Methodology
total of 82 high-school students, aged between 14-15 years old participated in the
study. The composition of the experimental group was 41 (Males = 28, Females =
13) and control group was 41 (Males = 24, Females = 17). Based on the participant’s
average, and low achievers in each group. Students who obtained scores 75-100
with the flipped classroom, while the control group followed a similar lesson using
the conventional learning method. Both groups were given a pretest and posttest.
Instruments
the pretest and posttest was same, but the orders of the test items were interchanged
in order to avoid the same set response effect. The test items comprised of 15
allotted for MAT. Content validity of the instrument was determined quantitatively by
a panel of five experts. For this purpose, the necessity of the items was assessed
using a 3-point rating scale: E indicated essential; U, useful but not essential; and
N, not necessary. Finally, Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index
(CVI) were calculated. The CVR was calculated for each item based on the formula
The CVI is the mean CVR of all retained items. For a panel of five experts,
the minimum value of CVR for an item needs to be at least 0.99 to be accepted
(Lawshe, 1975). All the 15 items showed acceptable values of CVR. The
calculated CVI was greater than 0.80 which is also acceptable (Polit, Beck, & Owen,
2007). Finally, the Cronbach’α of the instrument was 0.723 which is acceptable
confidence, and satisfaction are the four factors of CIS. It contains 34 items with
documented reliability co-efficient of 0.95 (Keller, 2010). The survey was translated

Procedure
The duration of this study was 6 weeks. Two weeks before the intervention,
both experimental and control group underwent a pretest. The authors selected
three teaching modules based on the concept of “trigonometry” for this study:
the control group, instruction was provided in the classroom. Students were asked
to attend the classroom-based lectures and complete their homework before the
next on their own. Thirty to forty minutes of the total class duration (50 minutes)
was devoted to lecture and discussion. The remaining time was utilized for
Dropbox before one week of the class. The average duration of each lesson was
15-20 minutes. Students were asked to watch the video lesson before coming to the
class. During classroom time, students involved in the activities based on video

lessons. Students were divided into groups to discuss the textbook problems. In the
meanwhile, the students who need remedial assistance were given a face to face
support. At the end of the intervention, both groups were given posttest and CIS

univariate F tests were conducted for attention, relevance, confidence, and

significant difference between the groups for attention (p < .05, η2 =.17), relevance
(p < .05, η2 =.15), confidence (p < .05, η2=.10), and satisfaction (p < .05, η2 =.18).

can find, there was no significant differences in the students’ learning achievement
between the groups for all levels except for average achievers. The mean scores
of the pre-test of the high achievers (M = 13.11, SD = 1.45) and low achievers (M
= 5.25, SD = 2.12) in the experimental group are not significantly different from the
a significant difference is found in the posttest for all levels except for high
achievers. The results show the mean scores of the average achievers (M = 10.75,
SD = 2.40) and low achievers (M = 9.18, SD = 2.71) in the experimental group are
2.26).

that students in the experimental group outperformed in the posttest than the
control group. This suggests that the flipped classroom environment improved

The findings also revealed that low achievers in the experimental group
performed better than the control group, but the performance of the high and
average achievers remains same; this outcome supports the previous study by
Bidwell (2014). In the flipped classroom mode, low achievers got more attention
from the teachers, and they discussed the problems to understand the

mathematical concept. Therefore, the flipped classroom mode may help low
evidence of the potential of the flipped classroom to support teaching and learning
the conventional method of teaching. This study has also shown that the flipped
classroom benefits lower achievers more than the high and average achievers.
To conclude, with the advancement of technology and the adoption of the flipped

The duration of this study was limited to 6 weeks; this is one of the limitations
of this study. Future studies should cover at least one module for 2-3 months for
more concrete scientific findings. Another limitation of this study was that students
were not able to ask their questions immediately while watching the lesson videos.

Future studies may provide an online discussion forum for giving opportunity and
motivating the students for pondering questions to develop critical thinking and
engagement. Interactive video lessons are also recommended for further studies in
