Impact of Flipped Teaching on Academic Performance in Mathematics: A Comparative Study of Experimental and Control Groups

School mathematics achievement helps students to access higher education programs and STEM career opportunities.The traditional lecture-based teaching methods fail to create effective student engagement because they do not support deep comprehension of concept.The present situation requires educational institutions to investigate teaching methods which research has shown to be more effective.The research investigated how flipped teaching affected mathematics performance of XI Standard secondary school students by comparing their results with those students who learned through traditional teaching methods.Researchers conducted a scholarly investigation using the implementation of a pre-test and post-test equivalent group experimental framework.Researchers selected 200 XI standard students through purposeful selection and assigned them equally to two groups which included experimental group of 100 students who experienced flipped teaching and a control group of 100 students who learned through conventional teaching methods during two units which covered set theory and relations and functions.Researchers used a Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) which they developed to assess mathematic performance.The experimental group scored enhanced results in compared with the control group during their post-test assessment which showed statistically significant results (t = 15.89,p < 0.01; d = 2.25).The implementation of flipped classroom teaching methods produced both statistically significant results and major improvements in mathematics achievement which secondary students attained through their practices.The study demonstrates that flipped teaching enables students to grow comprehension of concepts while they acquire ability to think critically which provides important information for developing new teaching methods that will improve secondary mathematics education in India.
