Abstract:
In this paper, a “flipped classroom” experiment is evaluated using three different datasets. We use student
evaluations of the “flipped classroom” experiment in particular, in addition to regular course evaluations
and exam results for the past three years in order to allow for statistical comparisons. Overall, the results
from the experiment are quite positive. Interesting effects include that students report that they prepare
better for lectures, are more satisfied with the course overall, and achieve slightly better grades. In
particular, much fewer students get very low grades. On the one hand, we argue that our results support
more experiments with technology to improve education. On the other hand, we also hope that our analysis
could be useful as a reference for evaluating such experiments.
