Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of the flipped classroom approach on student learning outcomes in economics education. The traditional classroom setting has been the predominant mode of instruction for centuries, but advancements in technology and pedagogical strategies have paved the way for innovative teaching methods such as the flipped classroom. This study aims to explore how flipping the classroom can enhance student learning experiences and outcomes in the field of economics. The research is grounded in the belief that active engagement, critical thinking, and personalized learning are essential components of effective education. By shifting the traditional lecture-based instruction to a model where students engage with course content before class and utilize class time for active learning activities, the flipped classroom approach aims to promote deeper understanding and retention of concepts. The literature review section provides a comprehensive analysis of existing studies on the flipped classroom approach, highlighting its benefits in various disciplines and discussing its potential impact on student learning outcomes. Key themes explored in the literature review include student engagement, academic performance, teacher-student interactions, and the role of technology in education. The research methodology section outlines the design of the study, including the selection of participants, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. A mixed-methods approach will be used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the flipped classroom on student learning outcomes in economics education. The findings section presents the results of the study, including quantitative data on student performance and qualitative insights from student surveys and interviews. The analysis of the findings will shed light on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach in improving student engagement, comprehension, and overall academic achievement in economics education. The discussion section delves into the implications of the study findings, highlighting the potential benefits of implementing the flipped classroom approach in economics education. Practical recommendations for educators and policymakers will be provided based on the research outcomes, aiming to enhance teaching practices and promote student success in the field of economics. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on innovative teaching methods in economics education by examining the impact of the flipped classroom approach on student learning outcomes. The findings of this study have the potential to inform educational practices and policies, ultimately enhancing the quality of economics education and fostering a more engaging and effective learning environment for students.
