Abstract

The present study aims to identify the impact of using the flipped instruction strategy on the academic achievement of sixth grade students in the course of Information Technology, and their attitude towards the course. The current study followed the semi-experimental approach, and consisted of 66 students who had been randomly chosen from one of the public schools, so that a division of the sixth grade was adopted as a control group, and another division was adopted as an experimental group, and two tools were used for the study, namely, the achievement test and the attitudes test so as to be sure of their validity and reliability.
Results showed statistically significant differences at (0.05=α) in the students’ achievement in the Information Technology course. Results also indicated that the attitudes of the students towards the IT course were highly significant, but there are no differences in the students’ attitudes towards the course that can be attributed to the used teaching method.
