Flipped classroom with case-based learning for improving preservice teachers’ classroom management learning outcomes

This study explored the effects of combining the flipped classroom with case-based learning in a classroom management course (n = 73 pre-service teachers). We adopted a mixed-methods design to collect data. The results revealed improvements in learning outcomes and perceptions, suggesting considerable advantages of the innovative teaching model. Using preclass videos and group discussions enhanced pre-service teachers' problem-solving skills and knowledge application. Reflections and multiple perspectives helped them develop a deeper understanding of topics. Moreover, the identified factors contributing to learning success include the preparedness of preservice teachers to engage with materials before class, effective discussion facilitation, and group dynamics.
