Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the current research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the flipped teaching method on the academic progress of mathematics and the academic participation of sixth-grade students in Sarchahan city.
Methods: The research was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of method, with a pre-test-post-test design involving experimental and control groups. The statistical population consisted of all sixth-grade students in Sarchahan city. Two schools were selected using a random cluster sampling method, and then the sixth-grade students from these schools were randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (25 students) and control (25 students). The data collection tools included a standardized sixth-grade math test and an academic participation questionnaire. After the pre-test, the experimental group underwent 10 sessions of training using the flipped teaching method, while the control group received training using the traditional method. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including a multivariate analysis of covariance test, were used to analyze the collected data.
Findings: The results indicated that in the post-test, the average scores for math academic achievement and academic participation were significantly higher for students who were trained with the flipped teaching method compared to those trained with the traditional method.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the flipped teaching method has a positive impact on academic participation and mathematical academic progress among students.
