Abstract

In this investigation, the questions addressed were, what effect on learning and visual attention does order of inquiry and direct instruction have? Does the location of instruction between in-class and flipped screencast videos have an effect on learning? Data was collected using web-cam video and pre-test and post-test scores from two similar units: the atom and acid-base chemistry. Classes were given a combination of two conditions: inquiry first compared to direct instruction first and in-class direct instruction compared to flipped screencast direct instruction. The results were compared using a one-way ANOVA and paired t-tests. Additionally, student survey questions were used to determine student preference. Analysis of the effect on learning resulted in no significant differences observed in any of the treatments. A significant improvement in student reported attention level when viewing flipped lessons.
