Notwanting to deter interested students during the pilot test of this module, the feedback wasrestricted to a single online survey at the conclusion of the module. In future semesters,instructors plan to survey students both before and after completing the module (weeks 1 and 4)to investigate changes in perceived knowledge and attitudes about the technology. In addition,students will be asked to complete a short reflection about their experience during the module,whether they consulted

Our work focused on middleschool students as research shows that interest in STEM decreases through middle school [1].The planned intervention is based on existing theory and research on motivation, as well as theemerging body of literature on integrated STEM instruction. Research shows that relevance isessential to student engagement in science and mathematics [2]. Research also indicates thatthere is a link between students’ interest and experiences in school and their future educationalcareer choices [3,4] . Therefore, engaging students in engineering activities where they solve realworld problems motivates them to learn science

The main reason for that is asfollows: Although the conventional teaching module is adopted in the first stage (the first sixweeks), the teaching contents are smaller but with a more comprehensive teaching syllabusthan the flipped one. Therefore, students have better commanding and application of theknowledge taught in the traditional classroom. In the flipped module, teaching chapters cover70% contents of the teaching plan. Because of the flipped module, the video content uses thefragmented form under dispersed teaching, leading to students' relatively weaker mastering ofknowledge than in the first stage, which explains the second phase of the test scores showinga slightly decreasing trend
