Flipped Teaching in Software Engineering Education.: Results of a Long-Term Study
Pages 93 - 101
Abstract
Flipped teaching is an approach which is becoming increasingly popular. There are already various field reports and scientific findings in different educational institutions and subjects. The approach of flipped teaching also appears to be promising in the university subject of software engineering. This paper explores the question of how this approach can be evaluated in teaching areas such as software engineering in comparison to traditional teaching approaches. A long-term study is presented in which courses with flipped teaching and courses without flipped teaching are compared. In total, 11 courses were analyzed over a period of six years (N=157). The results show that flipped teaching in software engineering has great potential and is rated better by students than traditional teaching in many areas. At the same time, the study also raises questions, for example, it is not clear from the results that active involvement is higher in flipped teaching than in traditional teaching.
