It’s More Than the Videos: Examining the Factors That Impact Upon Students’ Uptake of the Flipped Classroom Approach in a Senior Secondary Mathematics Classroom
Senior secondary mathematics in Australia is generally characterised by a challenging prescribed curriculum, textbook usage, high homework expectations and externally imposed assessment tasks. An increasing number of senior secondary mathematics teachers are incorporating a flipped classroom approach into their teaching as a means of addressing this challenging teaching space. This paper looks at a case study undertaken with a Grade 12 class where the teacher utilised a flipped classroom approach to teach Mathematics 2. The results showed that it was the holistic approach and commitment and dedication of the teacher that primarily influenced students’ uptake. The study has implications for other teachers who may be considering implementing a flipped classroom approach, particularly in terms of the commitment required.
