Abstract

Flipped classroom (FC) is a classroom where homework is done at school and school work is done at home. In secondary schools, students’ performance in mathematics is poor and calls for urgent attention. Hence, this study examined effect of flipped classroom on senior secondary school students’ performance and retention in mathematics. This study examined: post-test performance (PP) and retention performance (RP) of students in Mathematics when taught with FC and traditional classroom (TC). The study adopted quasi-experimental design. Sample was drawn from two Secondary Schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. Respondents were 268 students (145 for experimental taught with offline video and 123 for control group taught with lesson note). The instrument used for data collection was the performance test and its reliability yielded 0.88 using Cronbach Alpha and two hull hypotheses were tested using (ANCOVA). The findings revealed that: (i) there was a significant difference in the PP F(1,265) = 142.002, p=.00 and RP F(1, 265) = 130.24, p = .00 of students which favoured the FC with mean score of 28.44 and 25.48 respectively using benchmark of 20.00. Also, this study  indicated that students’ retention in mathematics improves and enhanced their performance. It was therefore recommended among others that teachers should be inspired in using FC to teach mathematics because if fully integrated, there will be great improvement.
