EFFECT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM STRATEGY ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS AMONG SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN BICHI EDUCATION ZONAL DIRECTORATE, KANO NIGERIA

Abstract

This study investigated the Effect of Flipped Classroom Strategy on Academic Achievement in

Mathematics among Senior Secondary School Students in Bichi Education Zonal Directorate,

Kano Nigeria. A pretest, posttest quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study.

The population of the study consisted of 5,880 senior secondary two (S.S. 2) students in senior

secondary schools of Bichi zonal education directorate, Kano Nigeria . A sample of 268 students

in intact class were selected to serve as sample of the study by stratified sampling from the

population. Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), validated by experts with reliability

coefficient of 0.80 computed using PPMC was used as an instrument of data collection. MAT

was administered at pre-test, post-test. The treatment in this study lasted for five weeks, before

treatment pre-test was administered then post-test followed immediately after the treatment. Two

research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation and two research

hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significant level using independent z-test and the analysis was

done in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 30. The results revealed that

students taught Mathematics using Flipped classroom strategy have higher academic

achievement than those taught using traditional method of teaching. It also showed that there is

significant difference in achievement scores between male and female students when taught

Mathematics using Flipped classroom strategy. Based on the findings, it was recommended that

mathematics teachers should endeavor to adopt the flipped classroom as a teaching strategy,

Mathematics teachers should be trained on effective procedures for implementing Flipped

Classroom strategy in their classrooms by organizing seminars and workshops. Federal and

state government through ministry of education and other educational agencies should provide

teachers with learning materials based on Flipped Classroom Learning strategy.
