Abstract

Flipped Classroom (FC) is an active learning design requiring the students to engage in pre-class learning activities to prepare for face-to-face sessions. Identifying FC learning behaviors that lead to academic success remains a challenge. This paper addresses this challenge by conducting an empirical study in an undergraduate software engineering course employing the FC model. The empirical study draws on the data from an intelligent tutoring system that captured the learning traces of students performing pre-class activities. These traces provided indicators of students’ regularity of engagement, which were then matched to their final exam scores. Regression models were trained to predict final exam scores based on the regularity of engagement indicators. Students were clustered based on their regularity of engagement indicators to uncover actionable feedback for future course iterations. The case study confirms the generalizability of earlier findings that the regularity of engagement is vital for student performance and that course-specific predictors significantly impact the models’ prediction performance.
