Effectiveness of flipped classroom model for teaching management subject to the under-graduate students.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent technological advancements have given rise to the use of active, interactive, and innovative learning strategies in Higher Education in India that help in promoting collaborative learning. The aim of introducing flipped classroom strategy using some active learning strategies is to evaluate its effectiveness in use and academic performance, develop managerial, problem solving, creativity, and innovative skills in students, the need of the hour in the present situation where 80% of the engineering graduates are unemployable (aspiring minds report, 2019) and to arouse interest in the management courses which are given little emphasis by engineering students in their undergraduate program and which is affecting their placement because of the backlogs in Management courses. This strategy is used for the Management Science course, which is a common paper for all the engineering branches of III/IV B.Tech students. The results showed that the students were highly engaged in learning; interest was aroused in the subject, and there was drastic progress in academic performance, as well as improved problem-solving, creativity, managerial, and innovative skills.
