After completing trying 3 flipped lessons I asked my class some multiple choice and yes or no questions. Here is the questions and the responses:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) Watching the videos for homework was:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Interesting<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boring<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Neither<\/p>\n
65% of the students answered interesting, 5% clicked boring and 30% said neither.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2) The videos were easy to access from home:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No<\/p>\n
90% said yes and 10% said no.<\/p>\n
3) I liked this type of homework better than typical \u201cnon-flipped\u201d homework:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No<\/p>\n
95% said yes to this and 5% said no.<\/p>\n
4) I enjoyed the following days class after flipped homework:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No<\/p>\n
95% said yes and 5% said no.<\/p>\n
5) I re-watched some videos to help understand the concept:<\/p>\n
-Always<\/p>\n
-Never<\/p>\n
-A couple times<\/p>\n
45% said always, 10% said never and 45% said occasionally<\/p>\n
6) The Videos were boring:<\/p>\n
-Yes<\/p>\n
-No<\/p>\n
40% said yes and 60% said no.<\/p>\n
7) I like that there were different entry levels in the next lesson that were based on how much I knew about the concept:<\/p>\n
95% said yes and 5% said no.<\/p>\n
8) I would like to do more \u201cflipped\u201d homework instead of traditional homework:<\/p>\n
95% said yes and 5% said no.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
20 students took the assessment. These results were very interesting. I was blown away with how popular \u201cflipping\u201d the classroom was amongst the students. Again, I admit that I spent a lot more time on these lessons than I do on every lesson I teach and I wonder if I spent this much time on traditionally shaped lessons if the results would be the same.<\/p>\n
It is also important to note that how you word a question can formulate certain results. Questions 1 and 6 are very similar. It could be argued that the first question is talking about the experience and the sixth question is speaking to the actual video. But it may be that how I worded the question changed the response.<\/p>\n
1) Watching the videos for homework was:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Interesting<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boring<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Neither<\/p>\n
65% of the students answered interesting, 5% clicked boring and 30% said neither.<\/p>\n
6) The Videos were boring:<\/p>\n
-Yes<\/p>\n
-No<\/p>\n
40% said yes and 60% said no.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are some of my conclusions from this survey:<\/p>\n
That the majority of students enjoyed flipping a classroom.<\/p>\n
That offering different learning starting points the following day is important.<\/p>\n
That accessing the videos is not too great a challenge.<\/p>\n
That students will often take the opportunity to re-watch a lesson if they have that option.<\/p>\n
That students like this kind of homework more than traditional homework<\/p>\n
That I may have to look at my other homework opportunities with more scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Until next time,<\/p>\n
