The Impact of Flipped Learning Class on Knowledge Sharing Attitudes and Learning Outcomes: A Focused on the Moderating Effect of Learning Engagement

Objectives The purpose of this study is to apply flipped learning to general chemistry subjects and to examine the effect of knowledge sharing attitude and learning participation on the effect of flipped learning class on learning outcomes. Methods For this purpose, 110 students in the first to fourth grade who participated in the flipped learning class of applied chemistry major at K University in Busan were randomly sampled and selected. Using the final 98 copies, mediated regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 29.0 program to analyze the mediating effect and the moderating effect. Results Flipped learning class had a positive effect on learning outcomes, and knowledge sharing attitude proved to have a partial mediating effect between flipped learning class and learning outcomes. The hierarchical regression analysis confirmed the moderating effect of learning participation between knowledge sharing attitude and learning outcome. Conclusions In the process of improving learning outcomes in the flipped learning class, students' attitudes of sharing knowledge and cooperating with each other are important, and students' active participation in learning strengthens learning outcomes by raising positive awareness of knowledge sharing. However, when learning participation was high, the negative effect on knowledge sharing weakened the effect of knowledge sharing attitude on learning outcomes. In order to maximize the effect of flipped learning, when learners have positive emotions through interaction between professors and colleagues, they can lead to active behavior in learning participation and promote knowledge sharing attitude.
