Comparison of Face-to-Face and Online Flipped Learning Models Based on Student Perspectives

This research compares student opinions on face-to-face and online flipped learning to fill this gap. The study employed the case study design, which is a type of qualitative research method. The research group consisted of 39 students enrolled in the "Educational Psychology" course of the Düzce University Faculty of Education Pedagogical Formation Program during the 2021-2022 Spring semester. Of the 39 students, 22 were women, and 17 were men in the online flipped learning model group. Meanwhile, the face-to-face flipped learning model group consisted of 37 students, 22 women, and 15 men. During the Educational Psychology course that extended over 14 weeks, two different teaching models were applied to two groups. One group was taught using the online flipped learning model, while the other was taught using the face-to-face flipped learning model. Data was collected using an opinion form consisting of eight questions. The collected data underwent content analysis. The study concluded that both face-to-face and online flipped learning methods are effective, active, and promote constructive learning. However, face-to-face flipped learning was found to be more effective, efficient, permanent, and social.
