Usually I post my blog on Wednesdays, but this week I held off till today, due to my first formative assessment with my flipped classes. Over the course of the past few weeks, my classes have been split into two different groups, traditional classroom and a flipped classroom. I gave my students a quiz today and wanted to to post my results. 54 students took the quiz today. It was 35 selected responses and 5 short answer constructed response questions. The same quiz was given to the same classes, as they were taught in a traditional classroom. The stats are as follows:
Last year: Events from end of WWI though the start of WWII
Last year:
- Traditional Classroom: 67% average score
This year:
- Traditional Classroom: 69% average score
- Flipped Classroom: 74% average score
The average scores went up 5%. That is a big jump. My students were very happy with this increase and so far are pleased with this new type of classroom. They have begun to ask are the U.S. History classes next year going to be flipped. Seems like the student buy-in is very high at this point. The video also shows why student buy-in is high.
