The challenges faced by modern Russian education make require the transformation of traditional teaching models and the introduction of innovative ones. One solution is the use of blended learning. Despite the existing scientific works in this area, the issue of the effectiveness of such a learning model in the formation of foreign language communicative competence remains open. The purpose of this experimental study is to determine the effectiveness of using the "flipped classroom" blended model in teaching the 3rd year students of the College of Economics of the South Russian Institute of Management of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation the discipline "Foreign language in business communication". The experiment was carried out from 2019 to 2020, the total number of participants was 81. Two groups were allocated during the study: experimental group (n = 40) and reference group (n = 41). The participants in the experimental group were trained using the new educational technology "flipped classroom". The members of the reference group were trained using traditional educational technology. To determine the effectiveness of the technologies used, as well as to determine the qualitative changes after the implementation of the pedagogical influence, the nonparametric Pearson χ2 criterion was applied. The critical level of statistical significance when testing the null hypothesis was taken equal to 0.05. In all cases, bilateral variants of the criteria were used. The results obtained (xemp2 = 8.095 > x0.052 = 7.815) led to the conclusion that the "flipped classroom" blended teaching model has an advantage in its effectiveness over traditional teaching in the formation of language competence. The experiment has shown that this format helps students to implement an individual learning path, which contributes to the improvement of educational performance.

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using flipped classroom model on learning English as a foreign language and students’ attitudes towards flipped classroom. The sample of study consisted of 31 students at Faculty of Arts, Misurata University. The participants were divided into two groups: 16 students for the experimental group and 15 students for the control group. The data collection tools used in this study were an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) test and a questionnaire to explore students’ attitudes towards flipped classroom. Participants in both groups were pre-tested using the EFL test before the experiment. Then, the experimental group was taught using flipped classroom strategy while the control group was taught using the traditional teaching method. After the experiment, students in both groups were post-tested using the EFL test while the questionnaire was administered to the students of the experimental group only. The results of the study showed that applying the strategy of the flipped classroom had a significant effect in increasing the students’ performances in learning English. The questionnaire responses showed positive attitudes regarding the use of flipped teaching.

To analyze how variability changes over time can enhance the understanding of how learners’ self-efficacy, motivation, and satisfaction is controlled and why differences might exist among groups of individuals. Therefore, this study compared the effect of variability on pre-service teacher students in the flipped classroom approach with a course named modern educational technology (MET). In total, 77 students in two groups participated in this study. Learners in the experimental group received the flipped classroom treatment. Learners in the control group received the traditional lecture-centered instructional approach. The learning outcomes were evaluated by practice assignment, transfer assignment, and student perception survey. The survey includes the evaluation of learning satisfaction, self-efficacy, and learning motivation. Pre-test and post-test were conducted by the two groups. The data analysis results applied analysis of variance (ANOVA) or analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and revealed that the experimental group displayed a better learning achievement than the control group. The experimental group participants’ perception also showed variability (i.e., learning satisfaction, self-efficacy, and learning motivation) was better than the control group. Considering the overall study results, the flipped classroom model can be applied in the pre-service teacher students’ modern educational technology course.

Background: The flipped classroom model provides an ideal ground to convert a traditional classroom into an interactive environment based on problem-solving learning with a focus on university students’ self-determination. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of flipped and traditional teaching methods in problem-solving learning and self-determination among university students. Methods: The research method was experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included all female students of Farhangian University in Ahvaz city in the academic year 2019. Using a purposive sampling method, 36 students were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n = 18 per group). The research instrument included the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) and the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction scale. The experimental group received the flipped teaching program during eight 120-min sessions once a week; however, the control group received the traditional teaching method. multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The posttest scores (mean ± SD) of problem-solving learning and self-determination were 83.77 ± 14.17 and 119.33 ± 13.79, respectively, in the experimental group, which were significantly different from the scores of the control group. The flipped classroom promoted problem-solving learning and components of self-determination among university students in the experimental group when compared to the control group (P = 0.01). The flipped teaching method was more effective than the traditional method in increasing problem-solving learning and self-determination among university students. Conclusions: According to the findings, the flipped teaching method had greater impacts on students’ problem-solving and self-determination than had the traditional method.

This study examines the effects of co-teaching between native and non-native English teachers on English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ English proficiency in China, and then explores the students’ perceptions of the collaborative form of teaching. Based on the co-teaching schemes created by the previous researchers, this experiment adopted three co-teaching models: (1) one teaching/one assisting model, (2) team teaching model, and (3) station teaching model. By comparing the effects of co-teaching with those of traditional teaching, the study found that the students who were co-taught by a native and a non-native English teacher made more gains in English proficiency than those who were taught by one teacher alone. The findings from the attitudinal survey indicate that the students generally held a positive attitude towards co-teaching and that they attributed the success of this experiment to three benefits in co-teaching: ideal linguistic environment, complementary teaching behaviors, and favorable cultural atmosphere.

The present study set out to determine how learners’ written production would affect their noticing and production of a specific language form (the English 3rd person singular present tense marker -s) upon receiving relevant input subsequently, in an attempt to contribute to the ongoing debate about how production affects noticing of linguistic forms. One hundred and eighteen (118) English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) learners (age range 15–6) in two educational contexts (Content and Language Integrated Learning and mainstream EFL) carried out a multi-stage dictogloss task. They followed the usual steps in this type of task (listen and jot down key words, text reconstruction). Then the experimental group (EG) listened to the text once again and compared it with their reconstructed version of the original passage. Their production of the target feature was compared to that of a control group (CG) who did not receive input after their own reconstruction. Results showed that the difference between the EG and the CG in the amount of instances of the target feature produced in the dictogloss task did not reach statistical significance. In other words, the act of producing and subsequent exposure to relevant input did not affect the noticing and production of the morpheme under study. In addition, no interaction between the pushed output condition and the educational context was found.

The article explores the concept of blended learning in foreign language teaching as a new pedagogical formula that combines distance learning through digital media with classroom learning, which provides for a "co-presence" of students and teachers, and transforms learning. The use of this type of learning solves several important tasks: 1) transition to a student-centered approach built on greater self-organization of students, formation of their ability to active, productive learning; 2) defining the important role of the teacher as a co-organizer of the educational process who is able to encourage dialogue, communication in the classroom and in self-study; 3) redistribution of the workload of teachers according to the new requirements: more time to prepare for the education process and research, contributing to their commitment to professional self-development. To elaborate a blended model of foreign language teaching for Ukrainian students, the experience of face-to-face teaching and online foreign language teaching at Oles Honchar University and the models of blended learning proposed by the Clayton Christensen Institute were analyzed, and one blended learning model known as the «lab rotation model» was proposed as the most suitable. It provides for classroom work offline as synchronous learning, and individual work online (on the learning platform) as asynchronous leaning, as well as the integration of individual learning and face-to-face learning in group formats, which will provide adaptive, more individualized training of students. It is proposed to supplement this model with elements of the «flipped classroom» model when students receive basic learning material and instructions online, and work in a more interactive form in the classroom.

Purpose: Using valid and reliable measures to assess curricula within health professions programs has gained significant attention in recent years. The educational environment is considered a key domain for student success. The primary aim of this study was to measure the educational environment following the addition of a flipped classroom model within a physical therapy course as measured by the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure. Methods: A first year doctorate of physical therapy course, “Physical Agents”, was redesigned to include a flipped classroom model, incorporating 24 videos that students reviewed independently, prior to hands-on laboratory learning. Following the conclusion of the course, students (n=57) completed the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure, a valid and reliable survey designed to measure the educational environment within health profession programs. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure contains 50 items, rated from 0 to 4 (5-point Likert scale, “0” strongly disagree to “4” strongly agree), assessing five domains: students’ perceptions of learning; perceptions of teachers; academic self-perception; perceptions of atmosphere; and social self-perception. Descriptive statistics included mean global score (out of 200, 151 to 200 being an excellent environment) mean domain scores, and mean item scores. Cumulative grade point average between students in the flipped classroom model (n=58) and those who previously received a traditional teaching model (n=59) for the course were also compared. Student’s t-test was utilized with significance accepted at p<0.05. Results: The mean global score (168 ± 13.3), indicated that the flipped classroom model fostered an excellent educational environment. Additionally, all mean domain scores, including students’ perceptions of learning (41.3 ± 3.9), perceptions of teachers (39.2 ± 2.9), academic self-perception (25.1 ± 2.5) perception of atmosphere (40.1 ± 4.1) and social self-perception (22.1 ± 2.9) fell into the highest rank of each subscale. Individual item analysis demonstrated 26 items (52%) were identified as especially strong areas, five items (10%) were identified as areas that could be improved, and no individual items were identified as requiring particular concern or immediate attention. Further, no significant differences were seen in cumulative course grade point average between the flipped classroom model (3.74 ± 0.44) and the traditional teaching model (3.71 ± 0.46). Conclusions: The flipped classroom model, utilizing an online learning environment, fostered an excellent educational environment for the physical therapy Physical Agents class. No difference in course grade point average between the flipped classroom model and previous traditional teaching model was seen. Further investigations examining performance on didactic and psychomotor activities within the flipped classroom model are recommended.
