The Impact of Flipped Classroom Models on K-12 Education in African Countries:
(Kampala International University, 2024) Baingana J. K.
The flipped classroom model, which shifts direct instruction to outside the classroom and brings active learning into the classroom, has shown potential in enhancing student engagement and performance. This study investigates the implementation and impact of flipped classrooms in K-12 education across various African countries. Utilizing a systematic review and empirical data from randomized controlled trials, the research explores the challenges and opportunities associated with this pedagogical approach in resource-constrained settings. Findings suggest that while the flipped classroom model can significantly improve student outcomes, its effectiveness is contingent upon access to technology and ongoing teacher support. The study underscores the necessity for tailored strategies to overcome barriers and optimize the benefits of flipped learning in diverse educational contexts across Africa.
