An Empirical Study Of Factors Influencing On College Students’ Acceptability Of The Flipped Classroom

Flipped classroom as a new teaching mode has been achieved the development of localization.It has been achieved fruitful results in the study of theory and practice that flipped classroom has an important influence on basic and higher education.Compared with traditional classroom,flipped classroom pays more attention to cultivating students’ independent learning ability in the implementation process,what’s more,students’ dominant position is more prominent.Students’ attitude towards flipped classroom will directly affect the implementation and effectiveness of the course.In order to make the flipped classroom more effective,we must find out the factors which affect students’ acceptance of the flipped classroom and clarify the relationship between these factors.First of all,this study measures students’ acceptability about flipped classroom and the students were divided into different groups according to their genders and grades to explore the acceptability between different groups.Exploring the relationship between student acceptance and academic performance through correlation analysis.Secondly,by referring relevant literatures,it can be extracted factors which influence students’ acceptance towards flipped classroom.After interviewing with experts,students and teachers who have used flipped classrooms analyze and identify related influence factors,the research model of this paper finally been constructed and put forward the research hypothesis on the basis of the technology acceptance model.Compiling measurement scale of this research and collecting data combined with features of the flipped classroom on the basis of referring relevant scales.SPSS and AMOS software were used to analyze the collected data in order to test the research model and research hypothesis.Finally,the results are as follows: The acceptability of students’ flipped classroom was positively correlated with their academic performance.The acceptability of students in different grades was different,and the higher group was stronger than the lower group.There was no significant difference in acceptability between students of different genders.Perceived usefulness,facilitating condition and perceived enjoyment have a direct positive effect on the behavior intention.Social Influence has a direct positive influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use,and indirectly affects the behavior intention through perceived usefulness.Perceived ease of use has an indirect effect on the behavior intention through perceived usefulness.Self-efficacy has indirect effects on the behavior intention through perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.Sorted according to the size of the effect on behavior intention:perceived enjoyment,facilitating condition,perceived usefulness,social influence,perceived ease of use,Self-efficacy.Gender,grade and learning style have regulation to the part of paths.Through the analysis of above conclusions,this paper proposes targeted suggestions to promote the wider application of flipped classroom in colleges.
