Students Perceptions about Flipped Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic at Higher Education in Islamabad

Abstract

This study was aim to find the “perception of students (male and female) towards flipped learning during COVID- 19 Pandemic in Islamabad. In this study researcher was check the perception of flipped learning during covid-19. In this study researcher have work on two objectives. The first one is to assess perception of students about flipped classroom during covid-19. And the second one is to investigate whether there is any difference in perception of students according to gender basis. For this, researcher used opinionnaire to find out the male and female students perceptions about flipped learning. Sample of present study consisted of two universities, Researcher selected universities on the bases of convenient sampling technique. After selecting the universities, 1-8 semester students of BS-computer science department from each university were selected on the basis on random sampling technique. Researcher personally visits the BS-computer science department of Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad and NUML University, Islamabad. According to the target population researcher distribute the questionnaire and collect the data randomly. Researcher used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for further tabulation and statistical data analysis. The data was analyzed and presented in the form of tables. Independent sample t- test was applied to find out the difference between male and female students perception regarding flipped learning at significant p<.05. The result of the present study shows that there is no significant difference between male and female students perception about flipped learning.
