| Title of Talk | Flipping the Precalculus Classroom |
| Abstract | The flipped classroom is becoming a popular course structure in many academic disciplines, but particularly in STEM disciplines, including mathematics. Considerable research has addressed potential advantages and challenges of teaching a flipped course, as well as examining students' attitudes towards the flipped classroom. Studies on students' academic performance in a flipped classroom remain relatively scarce, and have shown mixed results. This talk reports on a study using a flipped classroom design in a 5-credit precalculus course at a regional 4-year university. I evaluated the students' performance on the final compared to a similarly sized random sample of students from non-flipped sections of the same course, and also tracked students success in first-semester calculus. |
