Abstract

In the evolving educational landscape of the 21st century, innovative pedagogical methods like the Flipped Classroom (FC) and Personalized Learning (PL) have increased renown. The FC methodology revolutionizes traditional teaching by moving initial concept exposure outside the classroom, allowing in-class time for interactive and practical activities. This approach increases a dynamic learning environment, enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. Successful FC implementation involves comprehensive educational experiences utilizing digital resources and active classroom interactions. PL adapts teaching to individual student needs, recognizing diverse learning speeds and cognitive styles. By leveraging technology, PL provides customized educational experiences that increase learner autonomy and motivation, leading to deeper understanding and engagement. A case study on teaching C programming using a Personalized Flipped Classroom (PFC) approach illustrates the practical application of these methodologies. The course design includes structured planning, multimedia resources, and continuous evaluation, promoting effective learning. Students engage with instructional videos and practical exercises, promoting autonomy and active participation. The course covers fundamental programming concepts, with a thematic progression that balances foundational understanding and advanced topics. Despite challenges like increased workload and digital competency gaps, the PFC approach demonstrates significant potential in enhancing student performance and skill development.
