Abstract

The focus of this project was to develop a ‘flipped’ or blended unit of study for a senior physics course, and to consider how adolescent motivation and engagement might be influenced by a flipped classroom environment. Having students watch online video lessons can be an efficient method of disseminating information while allowing class time to be used for student-centred learning activities. This project consisted of three major components: developing online content, developing a plan for in-class collaboration, and connecting flipped learning to student motivation. It was found that both the online and in-class aspects of flipped learning may positively influence student motivation and engagement, however, some negative aspects of flipped learning have also been identified.
