Flipping Physics: Engaging Students Through an Interactive Classroom Model

This presentation explores the implementation of the flipped classroom model in a General Physics I course and examines student perceptions of this approach compared to traditional teaching methods. End-of-semester student results indicate a strong preference for the flipped model, with many students favoring its interactive and engaging structure. A subset of students who continued to General Physics II, taught using a traditional approach, provided insights into their comparative experiences, further reinforcing the effectiveness of the flipped model. Additionally, this study incorporates the use of online exams, which introduced non-traditional assessment methods, offering a unique contribution to the discussion on innovative teaching strategies in physics education.
