Impact of Student Diversity on Learning Behavior and Learning Success: Flipped Classroom vs. Traditional Lecture

• In Event: Diversity in Online Learning Environments

Abstract

As student diversity continues to increase, this study compares diverse learner characteristics and their effects on learning behavior in the Flipped Classroom with those in traditional courses: How does demographic, cognitive, and motivational diversity affect individual learning behaviors and learning success? How does course design affect learning behavior and success? Two longitudinal surveys were conducted in a statistics course with 1,503 students (N=758 traditional format, N=744 Flipped Classroom). Derived from the Supply-Use Model, a learning success model was developed that considers the different types of diversity. The results show that demographic, cognitive, and motivational diversity impact learning behavior, and course design affects individual learning success.
