E-Teaching via an Online Flipped Class on Facebook Group: During COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond

Abstract

Amidst the global pandemic of Covid-19, the shift towards online learning has become inevitable for students, especially for those who will sit for the Baccalaureate exam -secondary school graduation exam. To address this, a web-designed research method was opted for to develop an online flipped virtual classroom that can enhance secondary school students' engagement and provide them with the adequate assistance needed to prepare for this crucial exam. The web-driven solution was refined in every iteration through the continuous feedback of 52 students from 8 different provinces in Algeria. By the end, 25 secondary school teachers were invited to the Facebook group to share their perspectives on this web-enhanced online method of teaching and validate the framework through a self-reported questionnaire. The findings report an approved framework of how to practically leverage the flipped model in an online-only setting along with the implications it holds on a local and global scale.
