Kamaludeen Samaila; Hosam Al-Samarraie – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2024
Purpose: The flipped classroom model is an emerging teaching pedagogy in universities, colleges and secondary schools. This model will likely be successful if students prepare and acquire basic knowledge before class hours. Pre-class video lectures are common for students to access knowledge before class hours. However, students often do not watch…
