So first things first the purpose of this study is to explore approaches that will help my students have higher levels of reading performance in my classroom. The research question is: What is the effect of a flipped learning on student work? I work with kids who struggle every day to just understand what they read.
So of all the research I keep hearing of Jon Bergmann. He has compiled a nice website on the flipped classroom. He asks if anyone knows of studies that show the benefits of using the flipped classroom model. Haha I actually will submit mine once it is done. http://www.jonbergmann.com/research/ I feel Jon's website states best what he is known for. It says "Jon is leading the global flipped learning movement by working with governments, schools, corporations, and schools. He has worked literally all over the world and is the author of seven books including the bestselling book: Flip Your Classroom which has been translated into 10 languages. He is the founder of the global FlipCon conferences which are dynamic engaging events which inspire educators to transform their practice through flipped learning." (http://www.jonbergmann.com/research/) Tell us about the state-of-the-art knowledge related to your question. SInce flipped learning is still relatively new there is a lot of studies being performed about. Also, the more we advance our technology the more flipped learning can become integrated into a class. Our communication keeps getting better and we keep bridging gaps that 50 years ago was unheard of. It really does look brighter for the flipped classroom.

Data that was released from the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), of the sample who took the assessment the average reading score for eighth-grade students was lower than 2013’s score. (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/states/) According to NAEP, 66% of students in the eighth-grade read at or below basic in proficiency. (https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/reading_math_2015/#reading/acl?grade=8) For all populations the data showed either no change or a decrease in reading. (https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/reading_math_2015/#reading?grade=4) If students cannot read, they cannot be proficient in any curriculum. In California reading levels are lower than the national public. Almost 59% of California students receive free and reduced-price meals (http://www.ed-data.org/state/CA). This means that over half the state falls close to or over the poverty line, which relates to few resources for literacy outside of school.
This study took place in the East Bay of San Francisco.. The city is small with big city problems. It has a 51% increase over the national crime index average. In the 2014-2015 school year, the school district had 74.1% students receiving a free/reduced priced meal. In the school for this study for the 2014-2015 school year had 43% Hispanic or Latino and 39.6% Black or African American students. That means that 82.9% of the school’s population had a reading score that decreased from 2013-2015 (https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/reading_math_2015/#reading?grade=4). The school for this study has the most impoverished amount of students. A staggering 92.4% of students receive free and reduced-price meals. Over nine out of ten children live in a family that is either close to or over the poverty line. |
