The Effect of Micro-Flipped Classroom in the Context of Distance Learning on TESOL Master Students' Achievement

Abstract

Undoubtedly, Online Learning will continue to play an increasingly significant role in the years to come. So, the question is no longer whether instructors should use online learning environment or not, but rather how best to incorporate various educational strategies and practices into online classroom settings. As such, the purpose of the study is to determine the effect of using micro-flipped classroom in the context of distance learning on TESOL master students' achievement. The study was conducted on an experimental basis. It was applied to experiment (n=14) and control (n=15) groups. Data were collected through a pre-post test, and were then analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnova and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Effect size technique was used to measure the influence of micro-flipped classroom on the experimental group. At the end of the study, it has been found out that the micro-flipped classroom in the context of distance learning has positive effects on TESOL Master Students' Achievement.
