Meaningful Learning Based on Flipped Classrooms in Primary Schools

Abstract

Meaningful learning is a process that connects new information with knowledge acquired through learners' experiences. The use of diverse strategies makes the learning process active and meaningful for students. Flipped Classroom is a relatively new instructional strategy. Unlike conventional teaching methods, Flipped Classroom involves students actively preparing for learning by watching videos, understanding PowerPoint presentations, and accessing learning resources provided by educators through online media such as e-learning or learning applications. The purpose of this study is to outline a meaningful learning model using the Flipped Classroom strategy. The research approach adopted in this study is qualitative, specifically a literature review. Data was collected by searching for and analyzing scholarly works related to the research variables through literary sources. The literature review revealed seven stages in the process of using the meaningful learning model with the Flipped Classroom strategy: setting learning objectives, identifying student characteristics, aligning information with meaningful learning, selecting learning materials, delivering materials in the form of videos or PowerPoint presentations, comprehending core concepts, and evaluating the process and student learning outcomes. The implementation of the Flipped Classroom strategy in teaching provides a meaningful learning experience for students.
