Abstract

The modern-day classroom is characterized by academic diversity, with students from varied backgrounds and with different levels of prior knowledge. To cater to the diverse abilities of students, this paper explored the use of flipped learning as a teaching approach in an introductory economics course. We investigated the effectiveness of 40 pre-lecture videos covering basic concepts and 27 post-lecture tutorial videos focusing on practice in improving students' exam outcomes, especially for beginners in economics who may require more support from instructors than other students. We collected data about video engagement and students' grades in progress assessments. Surveys were conducted to gather students’ feedback regarding the usefulness of the videos on their learning. The findings showed that beginners engaged more with those videos, spent more time watching them compared to non-beginners. Furthermore, the study observed an improvement in beginners' exam performance, with their average grade increasing as a percentage of the average of non-beginners. These findings hold significance for instructors aiming to offer personalized assistance to students with varying levels of prior knowledge, thereby advancing educational practices in the field of economics.

谁观看了课前/课后辅导视频？翻转学习对经济学初学者有帮助吗？

现代课堂的特点是学术多元化，学生来自不同的背景，具有不同程度的已有知识。为了照顾学生的不同能力，本文探讨了翻转学习作为一种教学方法在经济学入门课程中的应用。我们调查了 40 个涵盖基本概念的课前视频和 27 个侧重于练习的课后辅导视频在提高学生考试成绩方面的效果，尤其是对于经济学初学者，他们可能比其他学生需要更多的教师支持。我们在进度评估中收集了有关视频参与度和学生成绩的数据。我们还进行了调查，以收集学生对视频对其学习有用性的反馈意见。研究结果表明，与非初学者相比，初学者对视频的参与度更高，观看视频的时间更长。此外，研究还观察到初学者的考试成绩有所提高，他们的平均成绩比非初学者的平均成绩提高了一个百分点。这些发现对于旨在为具有不同先验知识水平的学生提供个性化帮助的教师具有重要意义，从而推动了经济学领域的教育实践。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
