The Effectiveness of a Proposed Teaching Module on Designing and Crafting Handmade Wire Jewelry based on the Flipped Classroom Strategy

One of the best practices about adopting modern technologies to develop teaching methods is the concept of "the flipped classroom". In the traditional context, the teacher explains the lesson while letting learners deepen the important concepts at home, through homework. In the "flipped classroom" model, the teacher prepares a video clip explaining It contains important new concepts to be accessible to students before class. There were many studies that discussed the effectiveness of the flipped classroom strategy in theoretical courses, but it is very few in dealing with the effectiveness of this strategy in applied courses, which depend on the skill aspect in particular. Also, the studies that have applied the flipped row strategy in the field of fashion design and its complement are very few in general. This was one of the most important reasons for the researcher to design a proposed educational unit to learn designing and forming handicrafts with metal wire using the inverted row strategy, measuring its effectiveness, and measuring the students ’attitudes towards it. Opportunities and obstacles, and the research was presented to measure the relationship between the grades obtained by learners in the achievement test and their attitudes towards the inverted class strategy, and through the results of the research it was found that there is a direct correlation relationship. . The research applied the quasi-experimental method. The curriculum is based on the selection of a deliberate sample of students who have not previously studied the design and formation of hand jewelry with metal wire, in which the cognitive and skill achievement tests were used, as well as a scale for assessing skill performance and an attitude scale, and the sample was divided into two groups, one of them controlling to teach them in the traditional way and the other experimental to apply the research experience to them. The results of the research revealed the effectiveness of the inverted row strategy in learning to design and shape jewelry with metal wire due to the presence of statistically significant differences between the results of the cognitive and pre- and post-test results in the experimental group in favor of the post test. It was also found through the results of the research that there are statistically significant differences between the experimental and control group in the cognitive and skill side in favor of the experimental group, which indicates that the flipped classroom strategy is more effective and efficient in learning craft skills than learning by the traditional method alone. It was also found through the trend scale that the flipped classroom strategy is the most attractive and interesting to learners and that they prefer it over the traditional teaching method, and they agreed that it gives them sufficient time for training and actual practice, and that it also took into account individual differences and made them view and absorb the content provided to them at the appropriate speed and at the appropriate time for each Study, and made them more free to express themselves and discover their talents.
