When the sameinstructor taught using the lecture-based approach, the pace was not as predictable. This may lead toconfusion about what is expected in the course. It is the author’s (and Instructor 1’s) opinion that thisincrease in organization of the course is one of the main benefits of the flipped classroom.Finally, we found that, given the same instructor, the averages are higher for the Involvement subscale(2.85 vs. 2.44). Involvement is an indicator of active learning as it measure how involved the students arein their own learning. This is confirmation that a flipped classroom will increase

This database confirmed that engineeringstudents are dominated by thinking and judging types and are more introverted than othercollege students. There were substantial differences between the schools, but the overalltrends remained the same. Several effects of learning style were first raised by this study.Female engineering students were observed to be more extraverted and more feeling thanmale engineering students and some significant differences were noted for minoritystudents

[Note; To-date, only the Pre-Travel and Post-Travel surveyshave been administered.] The Pre- and Post-Travel surveys asked the students to rate certainabilities on a scale of 0 to 30. In additions, each student filled out a daily survey and reflected oneach day’s events. The students’ reflections represent “active response(s) to the challenges in(their) environment(s)” 24. The daily reflection allowed students to recognize and integrate theirlearning, while providing an outlet for them to release stress, discomfort and dissonance.Survey ResultsAs shown in Figure 1, comparisons of the
