Calculus II course? To answer this research question, twelve semi-structuredinterviews [22] were conducted during the last week of class with a focus on gaining a deeperunderstanding of students’ experiences in the flipped classroom. The research team adaptedquestions from a previous study on students’ self-efficacy in calculus [23]. Students names wereneither provided nor were known to the interviewer. Each interview was 10-20 minutes long andallowed students to reflect on their self-efficacy in mathematics (see Appendix B). Examples ofinterview questions included, “How do you rate your confidence in math now? Why?” and“What could make you feel more comfortable about math?” [23]. All interviews were audiorecorded using a digital recorder

can to encourage students to become more independent learners.4.2 Independent learners and homeschooling practiceThere is evidence to suggest that the homeschooling lifestyle tends to impart independent learningskills to its students [9, 10], and that engineering freshmen coming from a homeschoolbackground are therefore more likely to take responsibility for their own learning [8]. This is onepossible reason why the homeschooled students from this study succeeded in engineering schoolat a higher rate than their equally mathematically equipped non-homeschooled peers.According to [8] and [11], some important characteristics of an independent learner are: • Critical reflection • Self-awareness (especially related to own learning
