Implications on the Utilization of Flipped Classroom Approach

It has been found out that the use of flipped classroom approach offers more advantages

than disadvantages in the part of the students and teachers. Because of this reason, proper planning

in the use this approach must be done to ensure that its use in the classroom will become more

effective.

Firstly, English teachers must see to it that that use of flipped classroom approach truly

develop the critical thinking skills of the students. This could be done by allowing the students to

explore and engage their selves to educational technologies in order to understand deeply the

content and subject matter.

Secondly, teachers must see to it that the use of flipped classroom encourages the students

to do independent learning. Once the students have identified what they need to learn, they will be

confident enough that they can organized their ideas properly. In this way, learning is personalized

to the needs and learning styles of the students.

Thirdly, teachers must bear in that conventional way of teaching are still widely used today

depending how the teacher delivers the content. On the other hand, the use of flipped classroom

approach particularly in teaching short stories is far more effective compared to the conventional

way. If this could be realized, it lessens the burden of the teacher and helps the students to achieve

higher levels of learning.

The findings of this study imply that the more the students familiarized the strategies and

the activities given, the higher possibility of learning the students will have and the higher level of

comprehension takes place.

 The research participants of this study were the students from Tambulig National High

School. They have technology inside the classroom like television but no internet connection that

can be used by the teacher during classes. These kind of students are internet dependent were they

likely learn through watching videos from the internet rather than reading the book with the pages

given to them. In relation with this, giving them activities that needs multimedia exposure arouses

their interest and excites them to learn further.

The use of flipped classroom approach was never applied in the school where the researcher

conducted her study because of many considerations. Moreover, designing this kind of approach

requires time, effort and enough knowledge if ever the teacher does not have the idea on how to

watch videos in the internet. This is mainly the reason why in the first trial run both group got an

average level of comprehension but on the second trial run, experimental group got higher MPS

than the control group because of students’ exposure to multimedia that allows them to use most

of their senses.

The researcher strongly believed that the use of flipped classroom approach in teaching

short stories is far more effective compared to the conventional way. If the students are encouraged

to familiarize this approach, the possibility of leaning better is high. With this, teaching short

stories is always meaningful and effective.
