• In Event: 16.038 - Restructuring Instruction Through Technology

Abstract

In order to create a new paradigm of instructional methods which increase engagement for student learning and resilience for underachieving students, this study explored the flipped classroom model in a primary and elementary school setting while executing a Teacher Quality State Grant Professional Development Initiative in two of Georgia’s high-need public schools. The purpose of this research is to investigate how a professional development training designed to facilitate implementation of the flipped classroom (FC) model benefited teachers. Specifically, the research analyzed the training in terms of learning a new instructional approach and increasing teachers’ self-efficacy in reference to designing and implementing the FC design in their classrooms.
