Abstract

Flipped classes are consequently an increasingly popular pedagogical model, with existing studies revealing that flipped classes not only improve student achievement, but also ameliorate achievement gaps. In this research paper, we conduct a randomized controlled trial for Embedded System Design (ESD) module, and also a complex system (CS) module, at the department of computer science, Edge Hill University in order to analyze the impact of flipped classes on characteristically complex and systematic engineering modules. The aim of this research paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of flipped classes for ESD (CS) modules in enabling students to gain a greater level of practical knowledge during the COVID-19 affected period. We also set out to identify and explore the possibility of applying flipped classes to other science and engineering modules to address the issue of effective teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.
