A Case Study on Flipped Learning Applied to a Junior College Electromagnetism Course

In this study, we examined the cases of flipped learning applied to an electromagnetism class for 47 first-year engineering students at a junior college in Gyeongnam.The flipped learning class was designed based on the PARTNER model that took into account the characteristics of engineering college courses, and was applied to the electromagnetism course in the electrical engineering major for 5 weeks.The study consisted of a pre-class, including PPT-recorded videos, team activities based on cooperative learning, and reflection.The contents of the study were in the scope of examining learners' perceptions of flipped learning through university-level course evaluation, reflection analysis, and surveys.Compared to the lecture style, it was found that the degree of class preparation, interest, and curiosity in the class, class concentration, and the degree of exchanging help with peer learners significantly improved in the flipped learning class.In addition, it was found that the presence or absence of prior learning is significant for smooth team activities, and flipped learning improves problem-solving skills.This study has limitations in dealing with learners' perceptions from a qualitative perspective.In future research, we will verify the effectiveness of the above items in quantitative terms and suggest research on the impact of flipped learning on learners' academic achievement in engineering subjects, including electromagnetism.
