The Effect of Flipped Learning on Self-efficacy and Academic Performance in the Field of Experimental Sciences among Female Grade Six Students

The purpose of the present was to determine the effectiveness of flipped learning on self-efficacy and academic performance of sixth grade female students in experimental science. The study was quasi-experimental in method with a pre-test and post-test design, and the population of the study included all female grade 6 students of Tabriz, during the academic year of 2022-2023. Cluster sampling was used to select 49 students who were categorized randomly into two experimental and control groups. To collect the data for the study, Jing and Morgan’s (1999) questionnaire and teacher-made tests were initially administered to the experimental and control groups as the pretest. Later, the experimental group passed 10 treatment sessions of 45 minutes in the form of flipped learning while the control group received conventional teaching of science. Following, the treatment, the pos-tests were administered to both groups. The obtained data was later analyzed using descriptive and inferential (Covariance) statistics. The results indicated that flipped instruction has a significantly positive effect on self-efficacy and academic performance of the students.
