Abstract:
This study aimed to implement the flipped classroom strategy in teaching Arabic grammar to verify its effectiveness on the academic achievement of a purposively selected sample of ninth-grade students at a UNRWA school. An 8-week quasi-experimental study was conducted with an experimental group (n= 39) that learned using the flipped classroom strategy compared to a control group (n= 37) that learned using traditional blended learning. The experimental group learned by watching videos uploaded on Facebook before attending class for each lesson, while the control group watched the same videos in the computer lab during the lesson. Data were collected through pre-test and posttest academic achievement assessments, and covariance (ANCOVA) analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The post-test results showed that the flipped classroom strategy improved students' academic achievement in Arabic grammar, with statistically significant differences favoring the experimental group over the control group. The researchers recommended conducting studies on the impact of this strategy focusing on gender differences.
