Process and Outcome Evaluation of the use of Flipped Classroom Teaching and Learning Strategies for a Research Methods Course for Social Work Students

Development in information and communication technologies (ICT) creates opportunities for innovation in social work education by adopting a new pedagogy. This study examines how 87 students at City University of Hong Kong learned through a number of learning activities and assessment tasks designed according to flipped classroom teaching and learning strategies in a course on social work research. Second, it examines the links between learning processes and outcomes indexed by students’ performance in various assessment tasks. All students taken the course were invited to fill in a 240-item self-administered questionnaire. With ethical approval and informed consent, most participants agreed to provide their assessment data to match with learning experience data. Students were also invited to participate in one of the three focus groups to discuss their learning experiences. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used. Results will be available in January
2019.
