The Impact of Using Flipped Classroom Strategy in the Development of Self-Organized Learning and the Trend towards Science among Ninth Grade Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using of the flipped classroom strategy on self-organized learning and the trend towards science, in order to achieve this objective, the researcher used three tools: scale of self-organized learning and scale of trend towards science, and card interview to identify the benefits and the obstacles of the experiment. The sample of the study consisted of (36) students from ninth grade, the sample was divided into experimental group of (18) studied using the flipped classroom strategy, and a control group of (18) students studied in the ordinary way, the experiment lasted for three weeks and included 12 lessons, the most significant results were as follows:

1. The level of self-organized learning of the students were in the following order (academic motivation "high"; self-control "average"; the strategy adaptation "below average").
2. Flipped classroom strategy impacted positively on the trend towards science among the experimental group students.
3. There are differences between the number of activities and exercises that have been completed for the experimental group students.
