Applying Flipped Learning to Coding Class of Elementary School

Abstract

Since 2018, information has been introduced in the schools in sequence, but there are a number of problems in implementation. In this study, we apply flipped learning(FL) as a learning method that is most useful for information subject. This study applies FL to information subject and compares it with the existing ones. The results of comparative study between traditional one and FL are as follows. First, the teaching method of FL was effective in improving learning motivation in coding class. It was shown that self-confidence of the students who had made preparations beforehand improved. Besides, they actively participated and discussed how to concentrate on the lesson. Their interest and curiosity throughout the class continued until the end. Second, comprehension of the content of the class has greatly increased. Focus, interest, and participation in the class are all the effects of FL. Third, workload that teachers should prepare before learning has increased due to the development of learning materials.
