Pre-service teacher’s reactions towards Flipped Classroom Approach

The lecture technique is one of the most widely used teaching strategies in today's classrooms, in which the teacher is primarily responsible for information acquisition. Today's teacher, on the other hand, wants to find and try out new ways to teach individuals, particularly those who are having difficulty understanding and mastering the subject in the classroom.One such approach is flipped classroom. Instructors can communicate instructional content in a number of exciting ways while students learn at their own pace with the flipped classroom approach. Teachers can support students in better comprehending concepts through practical application by flipping a classroom. Once a teacher has created information for an idea, it can be reused the following year. The flipped classroom allows teachers more flexibility in determining how much time they spend with each student. Students who are dull, good performers, shy children, and bright children can all receive the attention they require. In the present paper, the author will focus on the pre-service teachers' reaction to the implemented flipped approach in their classroom. The investigator constructed the reaction scale comprising the areas concerned with the implementation of Flipped Classroom Approach. The study's significant findings revealed that most of the students agreed that the HORIZONS OF HOLISTIC EDUCATION, VOL-9, ISSUE-2 Peer Reviewed and Referred Journal hhe.cugujarat.ac.in 41 use of videos and quizzes before the class made the topic more interesting, and overall flipped classroom was an innovative and exciting approach. Adopting such a flippedclassroom approach in the schools will make teachers acquainted with technology, and student's interest and motivation in the classroom will make learning effective.
