A FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL FOR ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS IN E-LEARNING

Student and computer interaction becomes more salient where visual-auditory hardware and materials are required in classroom environment which are used for formal education. For instance, as a substitute of having classes during sessions, students learn mostly outside the class, by reading, watching videos and listening to podcasts or other audio format. Adaptive flipped classroom model is a learning and teaching approach that inverts the traditional classroom, in other words activities that would have traditionally taken place inside the class now takes place outside the classroom and vice versa. And it helps in changing user’s behavior vigorously and presents the learning concepts according to learner’s model. The aim of an adaptive flipped classroom model technologies is to achieve creative and innovative learning environment for those who have difficulty accessing education such as the poor, illiterate, less privileged, and those with location and financial constraints. The objective of this study is to provide flipped classroom model and incorporate the context of intelligent self-service learning with the use of an adaptive expert system to improve learning outside the classroom. The study employs a combination of technologies such as system design and modeling using Unified Modeling Language (UML), server side scripting, web-based system development, data management and rule-based reasoning in order to develop a prototype an adaptive flipped classroom model for an e-learning system. The developed system was evaluated to determine the level of usability. The result of the usability evaluation showed that the developed application has an ‘average usability’ rating of 4.053 out of 5 scales. This shows that the adaptive flipped classroom system will not only complement the existing e-learning system, it is also expected to be of immense benefit to all students with different levels of learning and assimilation

Comparative Analysis of Flipped Learning and Other Learning Methods

The modern day learning has moved from teacher-centered to learner-centered. Educational learning skills have gradually grown from cognitive skills to affective things, such as the feeling of students, the belief system and personal attitude. This evolution has infused multifaceted communication skills, self-management, non-routine problem solving, adaptability and systems thinking as vital skills in the educational sector. Technology-enhanced learning has continued to reform different learning methods for the 21st century world, where a universal perspective and cooperative skills are vital. The interest in modern day learning has led to so many learning methods. Educational learning skills have drastically moved from cognitive skills to affective things, such as the feeling of students, the belief system and personal attitude for able-bodied and visually impaired learners. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in applying the modern day learning methods in the educational system. The focus of this study is to compare flipped learning and other learning methods such as inquiry-based learning, project-based learning and problem-based learning and. A Random sampling technique was used to select the articles that were used for analysis. The attributes engaged for comparative analysis includes case studies 1 and 2. For case study 1, the following attributes were considered: Discussions, Accountability, Facilitation, Apprenticeship, Tutorial, Attendance, Engagement, Performance and Learning attitude. Case study 2 used Efficiency, Portability, Effectiveness, Interoperability and Flexibility. After a detailed review of the various research papers on learning methods, it was found that each learning method differs from each other based on their efficiency; effectiveness and perfect learning support tools for students, although some were similar. However, the results of findings show that the flipped learning model performs better among the four learning methods investigated. The project-based learning model nearly matches the flipped learning model. Flipped learning model as described in this paper will move educational system from instructor-centered to learner-centered system, which will help student to be an independent learner, accountable and responsible for their learning
