Abstract 
In our schools, students have grown accustomed to the traditional methods of instructions where 
the teachers stand in front of the class lecturing the same thing to all the students present. Then, 
just at the end of the class, students are given homework to reinforce the learned concepts at 
home where they get little or no added support. As a result of this way of teaching, students are 
just “passive” listeners on the receiving end of a one-way communication process that 
encourages little critical thinking. In order to change this trend of passive listening, teachers 
around the globe employ technology to implement a blended learning method that “frees up” 
class time for collaborative activities by shifting lectures out of the classroom on the internet. 
T
his method, known as a “flipped classroom”, combines the benefits of direct instructions and 
active learning to engage students in the educational process.
The action research project was carried out to determine if the model of the flipped classroom 
would have a positive effect on the learning environment by increasing student engagement, 
collaboration among students and interaction time with the students and teacher.
