Achievement, Flipped Classroom, Think Pair Share Strategy, RetentionAbstract
Recently, physics students’ achievement and retention is deteriorating. To students, physics have a lot of abstract concepts and difficult to deal with. One of the reasons for this erroneous mindset is on the method in which teaching and learning of physics is done. Based on this, the study was necessitated, to determine the effect of flipped classroom and think pair share strategy on achievement and retention among senior secondary school physics students. 2×2 factorial research design was adopted. The population of the study comprised of all the 3965 senior secondary school two (SS2) physics students in 16 public schools in Onitsha-North Local Government of Anambra State, Nigeria. The sample size of the study comprised of 194 students of two intact classes or stream from a single senior secondary school drawn from the population using simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was Physics Achievement Test (PAT) which consist of 20-items multiple choice questions of response opinion a, b, c & d. 0.77 reliability coefficient was established for PAT using test retest of temporal stability. All groups were pretested before the experiment and posttested after the experiment.
PAT was reshuffled two weeks after the posttest to obtain students retention score. Mean and standard deviation was used in answering all the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test all the null hypotheses. The result showed that flipped classroom is more superior in enhancing the achievement and retention of physics students. From the findings, it was recommended among others that state government in synergy with the school authorities should provide good flipped classroom facilities which will aid students’ achievement and technological development to compete with the world at large.
