Abstract

Learned helplessness can significantly hinder academic achievement, necessitating effective pedagogical interventions. The current study investigated the impact of flipped learning as an innovative teaching approach on mitigating learned helplessness in higher education context. Forty undergraduate university students were involved in the study and they were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=20) which received instruction through the flipped learning approach, or a control group (n=20) which received traditional instruction. Data collection was conducted using the learned helplessness scale. The results of the study revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups on the learned helplessness scale, indicating that the flipped learning group exhibited lower levels of learned helplessness. Students in the experimental group showed significant immediate reduction in their learned helplessness compared to students of the control group. Nevertheless, follow-up testing revealed that these gains significantly declined over time. This highlights a crucial distinction between the immediate and delayed effects of the pedagogical intervention. Practically, the findings suggest that while flipped learning is an effective tool for reducing learned helplessness, its benefits are transient without consistent reinforcement and systematic support rather than relying on one-time intervention.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the science identity scale (SIS) and to explore any differences in levels of science identity due to gender. The study sample comprised 304 male and female high school students who had completed the SIS. To achieve study objectives, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors explained (40.542%) of total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good model fit, and the Cronbach alpha was calculated to be 0.85 for the SIS. Finally, the results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of science identity and its subscales (science performance, science competence, science recognition, and science interest) based on the gender variable, with females scoring higher. The study recommends that teachers utilize the SIS to assess the level of science identity among students and implement teaching practices aimed at enhancing the science identity of secondary school students.
