Developing Research Competence in Prospective Lecturers of Building Engineering Education through Research-Based Blended Flip Learning (RBBFL) Model

Research competence is one of the professional skills that lecturers must develop. However, in the digital age, lecturers face challenges regarding research and technology literacy, particularly in digital writing where collaborative solutions are necessary. An effective learning model is required to build this competence. Therefore, this research proposed Research-Based Blended Flip Learning (RBBFL) model designed for conducting reliable and efficient research activities. This model is an integration of research-based, blended and flipped learning. It also adopted a research-based design within the framework of developmental research. The validity of the learning model was assessed using the Aiken V coefficient, and its effectiveness was measured with the N-gain score. The results of the research showed that RBBFL model was classified into three major steps, including independent learning for knowledge acquisition, face-to-face learning to share experiences, and guided learning for self-reflection. In summary, the proposed RBBFL model was reliable and effective for conducting research activities.
