Exploring Student Interactions with Preparation Activities in a Flipped Classroom Experience

Dragan Gašević is one of the authors of a new article accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies. The article is titled “Exploring Student Interactions with Preparation Activities in a Flipped Classroom Experience.” The article proposed a new learning analytics methodology for the study of learning strategies used by students in flipped classrooms for preparatory online activities. The methodology also allows for tracking the evolution of learning strategies over the duration of a course delivered with a flipped classroom pedagogy. The methodology was applied in an undergraduate computer engineering class and identified eight learning strategies and six trajectories of strategy change over the duration of the course, with statistically significant effects of strategy change trajectories on academic performance.
