Students’ Perception about Collaboration,Social Interaction, and Flexibilityin Flipped Learning: a Study

Abstract

Flipped learning is a new way of learning that encourages students to participate actively in their own
learning process. It facilitates a flexible learning environment, collaboration and social interaction through
hands-on activities, group projects, and online platforms. Hence, some of the advantages of flipped
learning are attracting researchers to conduct more studies on flipped learning in different contexts.
Therefore, this study attempted to see how flipped learning affects senior secondary school students. The
study was conducted on a sample of 60 senior secondary school students from two private schools in
Delhi selected on a convenience basis. The questionnaire was administered to elicit responses from the
students. Findings revealed that students’ responses were positive that flipped learning provided them
opportunities ofcollaboration, social interaction, and flexibility in their learning style. This indicates that
students were happier with their learning in a flipped environment.
