Using a quasi-experiment with the pre-/post-test control group design, the present study investigated whether flipping an advanced pre-calculus class would lead to a statistically significant gain in the learning of conic sections for high school students. The subjects were 50 11th graders (n=50), who were equally divided into two groups. The treatment group (n=25) learned conic sections via the flipped classroom model, while the control group (n=25) was taught the same topic traditionally via the didactic approach. The intervention comprised flipping mathematics class with four video-assisted lessons and notetaking. All subjects were pre-tested on their prior knowledge on conic sections before starting the experiment and post-tested after intervention. The results of the post-test indicated statistically significant difference between the mean score of the treatment group and that of the control group, reflecting the effectiveness of the flipped instruction. Participants enjoyed the intervention.
This study aimed at exploring the administrative governance and its relationship to the educational and technical challenges of students with disabilities in the distance education system. The descriptive analytical methodology was used, where a questionnaire was designed as an instrument for collecting data from the study sample. The study was applied to a sample of (311) male and female teachers. The results showed that the application of the principles of administrative governance according to teachers' perception was very high with a mean score of (4,2462). The results also showed that the educational challenges in schools came to a medium degree and with a mean score of (2.6592), while the technical challenges came with a medium level with a mean score of (2.8071). The findings revealed that there is an inverse relationship between the degrees of the principles of administrative governance and the educational and technical difficulties, which means that the greater the application of the principles of administrative governance, the fewer educational and technical challenges.
Keywords: administrative governance, students with learning disabilities, distance education, educational and technical challenges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
