چکیده
A Lesson Study Project is carried out to examine various teaching methodologies on the students' learning through support from the Office of Professional and Instructional Development (OPID) of University of Wisconsin System. The study involves a diverse body of faculty and students affiliated with three different departments on campus. One of the methodologies of interest is the "flipped classroom" concept in the teaching community. In this work, flipped classroom activities are conducted in teaching one engineering and technology course titled with "Fundamentals of Plastics Materials and Processing" (MFGT-251) in the spring semester of 2014. Particularly, the concept is incorporated in two series of lectures on injection molding and thermoforming. Student's performance is evaluated through an injection molding quiz, and questions related to the injection molding and thermoforming processes in the final exam. The student's performance is compared with those enrolled in MFGT-251 of fall 2013 without incorporating the flipped classroom model. Results on students' learning and the feedbacks from the students are presented. The implication of the results is also discussed.
