Abstract
The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Flipped Classroom Approach Based on the 5E Learning Cycle Model called 5ELFA on student achievement in a physics course. It also aims to determine the students’ opinions regarding this approach. This study, conducted using a mixed methods approach, involved 94 engineering students enrolled in the Physics 101 course. In the research, in which the pretest-posttest control group design was used, students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. While the students in the experimental group took the physics course in the Flipped Classroom Approach Based on the 5E Learning Cycle Model for 10 weeks, only the 5E learning model was used in the control group. The quantitative data were collected from a physics achievement test and the qualitative data were collected from semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that the physics achievement post-test scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Interviews with experimental group volunteers revealed that the majority of students held a positive opinion of the flipped classroom approach and they believed that it had a positive impact on the physics course.
