Abstract

<p>This study investigates the usefulness of a flipped classroom approach in tertiary education. This exploratory study was conducted to understand the efficacy of the flipped classroom approach that was implemented by a lecturer teaching mathematics education. The study was conducted with the lecturer and her 185 pre-service teachers who attend her online course. Data collection instruments included a survey designed to investigate the dynamics of the flipped approach, semi-structured interviews for the pre-service teachers and the lecturer.
