A Comparative Study on Students’ Engagement cum Satisfaction in Flipped and Traditional ELT Classrooms at Higher Secondary Level

At present, flipped, traditional and stem educational class setups are in vogue in Pakistan. Flipped classrooms are based on online pedagogical approaches whereas traditional setup is based on classical approach in which the students are physically present in the class for lectures. This study is meant to compare theses educational setups in terms of students’ engagement and satisfaction in ELT classrooms in particular. Flipped classroom is known as a student centered whereas traditional classroom a teacher centered approach. This is a mixed method research. A questionnaire was developed for each classroom setup to collect the quantitative data, and subsequently, SPSS was used to analyze the data. Statistical data was also analyzed qualitatively. Descriptive and inferential statistics were implemented to report the results. The students were found more comfortable with traditional classroom in terms of their engagement and satisfaction.
