Título: Improved learning performance based on a flipped classroom concept – a case study
Autor: Dressler, Soeren; Rachfall, Thomas
Resumen: [EN] Aim of the research was to improve effectiveness of university education.
With the use of new digital tools the learning processes in many different
disciplines have been enhanced. However, the traditional class room training
can hardly be replaced entirely as the students’ motivation drops with less
direct interaction with the instructor. Hence small private online courses are
more successful than massive online education. The authors have developed
a sophisticated flipped classroom learning approach incorporating various
digital tools ranging from different kinds of videos to a class response system
combined with class room lectures. The case of the course introduction to
management accounting at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin is been
presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the flipped classroom concept. An
empirical analysis confirms that the students’ acceptance is highest if various
methods of teaching are been applied. In particular relying on digital tools
only is seen as ineffective and of less value. Eventually, based on the analysis
and classroom observations improvement opportunities have been derived in
order to further increase the learning performance.
