A Study of the Effectiveness of Flipped Classroom of Teaching in Blended Learning

Blended courses (also known as hybrid or mixed-mode courses) are classes where a portion of the traditional face-to-face instruction is replaced by web-based online learning.

In other words, both modes are suitable or effective for teaching CAD module;(b) For Question 1(b) : There is a significant difference between the two modes(at α = 0.05), i.e. Pure Mode is effective in shaping students to be more independent and responsible learner. In other words flipped classroom is an effective model to be adopted in blended learning for training students to be more independent and responsible. 2016 Article PeerReviewed text en http://eprints.intimal.edu.my/612/1/JP%20-%201.pdf Sam, Man Keong and Ng, Geok Ling (2016) A Study of the Effectiveness of Flipped Classroom of Teaching in Blended Learning.
