Highlights
This study aimed to examine students’ satisfaction and engagement and to enhance teaching and learning experiences through interactive teaching and learning process based on flipped classroom model. In this model, students are active participants in the learning process. Multimedia lectures were pre-recorded and posted on UM Spectrum before the class so that students can view them out of class and at their own pace. The results showed that students were generally satisfied with the redesigned course, suggesting that flipped classroom could be an effective teaching technique to incorporate into existing science courses and to encourage students to become independent self-learners.
Key words
Active learning, e-learning, flipped classroom, problem-based learning
