1.0 INTRODUCTION
n our colleges, the environment for teaching and learning has been fraught with issues. A common
issue among them is the absence of student involvement in the classroom. Our staff is looking for a
solution to those alleged issues. So, in order to identify the most useful instruments, we read some
study publications. We discovered that the flipped classroom approach might be useful in this context.
Our literature review provided some useful information for overcoming the challenges. Through the
use of the flipped classroom, students can learn more thoroughly by actively participating in
discussions, Q&A sessions, demonstrations, peer tutoring and feedback sessions, and role acting.
(Estriegana, 2017; Cummins, 2016). "The flipped classroom model has a positive effect of increasing
students' achievement."(2018) (D.A. Sirakaya. We decided to implement this strategy in our
respective department across five colleges (Madaripur Government College, Madaripur, Ghior
Government College, Manikganj, Tongi Government College, Gazipur, Sir Ashutosh Government
College, Chattogram, & Abdulpur Government College, Natore) because it is clear that flipping the
classroom is effective for involving students in the classroom and has a positive impact on increasing
their academic achievement. Since it is a novel idea for all departments, a PLC is required to address
all challenges.

Ghior Govt. College
Abdulpur Govt. College is located at Lalpur upazila under Natore district. This college was founded
in 1968 and nationalized in 1985. The land
area of this college is 10 acre. There are three
academic buildings with two storied and one
six storied under constructed buildings here.
The college offers HSC course and Degree
pass courses (BA, BSS & BSc), Honor’s in 8
departments under Rajshahi Education Board
and National University Bangladesh
respectively. Total number of students of this
college is about 3300. Though this college is
in rural areas, the authority of this college provides necessary supports to the teachers so that they
could perform their best for their pupils.

2.0 SETTING UP THE PLC TEAM
M
embers of a cross-curricular team will come from several topic areas. Such a team will probably
concentrate on common educational concerns or issues that each member faces. Cross-curricular
instruction, or instruction that purposefully integrates numerous academic subjects at once, is a
successful strategy for teaching students transferrable problem-solving abilities, giving schoolwork a
purpose in the real world, and boosting engagement and rigor.
We made the decision to create a cross-curricular team PLC to address the alleged issues. We
attempted to add more coworkers to our PLC but were unable. Therefore, we made the decision to
form a cross-curricular team PLC with 5 members from Group 1A. The three pillars of a PLC are a
focus on learning, a focus on cooperation, and a focus on results. We wish to develop these pillars in
order to develop targeted, doable, and motivating intervention techniques for transforming our
colleges into settings where all students learn at high levels.
Our department's head and principal Sir provided us with the assistance we needed. They encourage
us to use this novel approach and are anxious to learn how the flipped classroom will turn out. The
journey was wonderful to us. Only Group 1A was interested in working collaboratively at the outset
of PLC formation, but by the end of the journey, many of them had grown to like us and had
expressed interest in doing so in the future.

3.0 THE INSTRUCTIONAL ISSUES
A
n instructional issue is a challenge or a roadblock that prevents pupils from successfully completing a
certain learning objective. Motivational, cognitive, or even logistical difficulties can arise during
instruction.
To identify the instructional issue, PLCs of all five (5) colleges has collected data
from the following sources-
We discovered that academic achievement and student involvement in the classroom are both lacking
in our colleges. According to their attendance and engagement statistics from prior exams, students
typically only attend and participate in class 20% of the time. They pay little attention in class, present
poorly, are reluctant to voice their opinions, and lack creativity. Academic achievement among
students is utterly unacceptable. About 80% of pupils scored lower than 40% on the in-course exam.
In contrast, 80% of pupils scored below a 3.0 GPA (out of 4) on the final exam.
P a g e 7 | 31
Every college affiliated with the National University of Bangladesh experiences something similar to
this. In more than 2000 colleges, it has 20 lakh students. Nearly 60% of students are still enrolled in
the first-year honours programme, and as they advance through the years, that number drops to 10%
or even 5%. The presence diminishes so much in the third and last years that it cannot even be
mentioned (Masum Billah, 2011). As soon as they are admitted to the honours level, students stop
attending courses and immediately begin working on their studies, businesses, coaching centres, and
joint ventures.
About 66% of students who graduate from colleges connected to the National University do not find
employment due to a lack of technical skills and inadequate topic knowledge. As a result, National
University faces a significant challenge in becoming a true centre for teaching and learning by
undertaking research and graduating high-caliber students who are prepared for the challenges of the
21st century without adding to the burden of an already severely unemployed nation. We will
overcome the obstacle using a blended approach like the flipped classroom paradigm.
PLC members believed that the primary issue with our students was a lack of academic performance
or learning outcomes in light of the aforementioned circumstances. It could occur because traditional
teaching methods lack enjoyment and have ineffective evaluation procedures. As a result, all five
PLCs resolved to work on solving these problems. We believed that by implementing a student-
centered teaching technique, such as the flipped classroom, the engagement of the class would
increase when participation among students will rise and they'll be inspired to perform better on
subsequent exams.

4.0 THE INSTRUCTIONAL INTERVENTION
he team addressed the problems using the flipped classroom paradigm. The FC model is based on
various methodological approaches that have been used in university instruction since the 1990s and
that promote student preparation before classes, including team-based learning, peer instruction, and
just-in-time teaching, in which the teacher electronically distributes the information to the class. This
enables more class time to be allocated to formative evaluation and active learning. The flipped
classroom has good effects on many aspects of the educational process, according to recent studies.
First, FC boosts kids' motivation and participation in extracurricular and school activities. Second, it
enhances general recall and knowledge of the subjects taught, which enhances performance and
lowers the failure rate. Third, it enhances the growth of competencies and abilities, and fourth, it
raises the level of pleasure among students and teachers who use it.
The term "flipped classroom" refers to a pedagogical approach that inverts the traditional classroom
structure by having students first learn from online resources before engaging in peer learning or
small-group work in the classroom (Ahmed, 2016; Prevalla & Uzunboylu, 2019). Through active
participation in a variety of activities such as discussions, debates, clicker questions, Question and
Answer, demonstrations, simulations, peer tutoring and feedback, and role playing, students can learn
more deeply through flipped learning (Cummins, Beresford, & Rice, 2016; Estriegana-Valdehita,
Plata, & Medina-Merodio, 2017). Through collaborative group projects and greater engagement
between students and lecturers, this reflective and active learning strategy can support and enhance
undergraduate learning (Sivapalan, Clifford, & Speight, 2016). In a flipped classroom, activities take
place outside of the actual classroom, and students make use of class time for active learning
techniques including problem solving and group discussions with the lecturer present (Jamaludin &
Osman, 2014). As a result, pupils have a self-directed learning process and are independent. The
classroom environment actually encourages critical thinking, self-learning, building experiences,
communication skills, and cooperation among students rather than allowing for inattention, isolation
from other students, or absence. Videos can significantly increase student knowledge when used as an
instructional technique to meet a variety of learning objectives and abilities (Kay & Kletskin, 2012).
According to results from an online game-based problem-solving activity, students' attitudes towards
learning, enthusiasm in learning, and level of technological acceptance all greatly increased
(Dominguez et al., 2013).
P a g e 9 | 31
Additionally, the flipped classroom model gives students the chance to engage with educational
materials earlier and more consistently, enhancing their readiness to apply their understanding to in-
class activities (Alfredo Prieto & José Barbarroja, 2020). As a result, students who completed their
prior work more thoroughly performed better on the FC.
The intervention method involved five instructors. Every instructor used the same intervention
strategy. Participants were selected from first-year graduate students with honours in five departments
across five distinct government colleges in Bangladesh. Using purposive sampling, we selected 30
students from each department (15 experimental, 15 control). The control group used conventional
teaching techniques, while the experimental group used the flipped classroom style. Therefore, there
were 75 persons in the experimental group overall and 75 in the control group. That was anticipated;
each instructor will enrol in four classes within his department. Because of this, there were a total of
20 flipped classrooms and 20 standard classes.

5.0 IMPLEMENTING THE INTERVENTION
T
he intervention method involved the five professors. The participants were graduate first-year honours
students from five different government colleges in Bangladesh, representing five departments. Using
purposive sampling, we selected 30 students from each department (15 experimental, 15 control). The
control group, which consisted of 15 students, received traditional instruction while the experimental
group received instruction using the flipped classroom style. The accompanying (appendix) contains
the timetable for the PLC in the college project.
Students in the experimental group received online learning materials such articles, videos, brochures,
and handouts as part of the lesson plan for the flipped classroom approach (see appendix). The
experimental group received several interventions throughout the class session, including kahoot
games, padlets, group discussions, think pair and share activities, poster presentations, quiz tests,
teachers' aid, etc. (see appendix).
Each teacher created a test consisting of 5 MCQ/short answer questions addressing their own
curriculum after teaching four classes in four weeks on a single chapter. They also conducted
interviews and assigned assignments in which both the control and experimental groups participated
(see appendices). For the formative and summative evaluation of the assignments, class participation,
quizzes, etc., the instructors created rubrics. The academic level of the participants was assessed by
the instructors to determine their enhanced learning outcomes.
The instructors received feedback on student participation as well as their attendance history. For the
experimental group, student opinions regarding the flipped classroom were also gathered using a
Google form and a Five Point Likert scale with five items. A higher score indicates a stronger
relationship; the scale will range from 1 to 5. Following data collection, data were examined using the
quantitative and qualitative methods in MS Excel and SPSS software.

6.0 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INTERVENTION
articipants in the intervention underwent some assessment processes at the conclusion of its
implementation, including completing MCQs, a face-to-face interview, and submitting an assignment.
Additionally, the level of participation in class and attendance were noted.
We assigned 10 points for the assignment, 5 points for participation in class and 5 points for the
interview. Academic performance was determined by the participant's overall score in each section.
Finally, members of the experimental group provided feedback on the flipped classroom strategy
model using a google form. All colleges adhere to the same protocol, thus we combined the
information from each institution and used SPSS to examine it. Here the project's results are discussed
below.

MCQ Class Engagement Assignment Interview
Results demonstrate that the flipped classroom method model significantly improves students'
participation in class. According to the updated R 2, the FC model's impact on student involvement
will be roughly 56%. As a result, our model accurately predicted the impact of FC on the
experimental group's students' participation in class.
P a g e 14 | 31
Effect of the flipped classroom on Academic Performance:
F1, 148 = 351.45, Adjusted R2 = .702; ( p < .05) The results demonstrate that the
flipped classroom strategy model significantly improves students' academic
achievement. According to the updated R2, we may assume that the FC model will
have a 70% impact on academic success. Therefore, our model accurately anticipated
the impact of FC on the experimental group's pupils' academic performance.
Level of Interventions
Students were asked to score their level of agreement with several claims made about the flipped
classroom teaching method. In the graph charts included in appendix-8, the survey's results are
displayed. Here, statement no. 2 received great support from 44% of students. The "flipped
classroom" encouraged active participation from the student.
P a g e 15 | 31
The majority of students—about 83%—strongly agreed with the following statement: "The flipped
classroom is more effective than the traditional lecture method." Therefore, all students either strongly
agreed or agreed that the flipped classroom teaching technique had a favourable effect on their
learning.
