THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FLIPPED LEARNING IN WRITING CLASS DURING THE PANDEMIC: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION
Abstract
Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in a dynamic and interactive learning environment where the educator guides students to apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter. Flipped Learning in this case is a learning process where students learn materials independently before having a discussion with the lecturer. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and the impact of implementing flipped learning on the improvement of students’ writing competence in creating English persuasive essays on IT. There were thirty-two students of the third-semester students
of higher education majoring in Informatics Engineering who took part as the object of this study. This method is applied in the course of English III in the Informatics Engineering Study Program, STMIK STIKOM Indonesia. This study also aimed to analyze students’ perception about the flipped learning method using an educational technology, Google Classroom for delivering writing materials and task submission and Google Meet for online discussion as the solution for distance learning during COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative data were obtained from an online questionnaire in the form of a Google Form which consists of questions on the type of scale and paragraph. The questionnaire results were analyzed for knowing students' perceptions over the application of flipped learning and aspects of students’ writing skill. The results showed that students gave positive responses on the application of flipped learning because it can be adjusted to the level of each individual ability in understanding the material in depth, increasing interaction during online discussion and enhancing project management.
