Article Citation - Scopus: 5Flipped Learning Model - Learning Style Interaction: Supporting Pre-Service Teachers on Science Teaching Methods and Personal Epistemologies(International Council of Associations for Science Education (ICASE), 2022) Cam,A.; Arslan,H.O.; Cigdemoglu,C.This study revealed how the flipped learning model interacted with the learning styles of primary pre-service teachers. In addition, the impact of the flipped model on participants' science teaching course achievement and personal epistemologies was investigated. A mixed-method research design was conducted with 27 primary pre-service teachers enrolled in a Science Teaching Course. The flipped classroom model was applied for 15 weeks. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory was distributed to categorize participants under learning styles. Midterm and final exam scores were used as an indicator of course achievement and compared with 30 primary pre-service teachers' achievement from the previous semester. Lesson plans of the participants were analyzed qualitatively to investigate the personal epistemologies of the participants. Analysis indicated that flip learning environment supported "divergers" more than the others on course achievement. The level of sophistication on personal epistemologies changed across learning styles and the method of teaching differed across learning styles. Further studies need to be conducted to reveal how teacher education programs help pre-service teachers improve personal epistemologies and transfer them to their instruction. © 2022 Journal of Open Humanities Data.

Two freshman engineering classes totaling 89 students taught by the same instructor enrolled in a general chemistry course at a university were the sample of the study. The study had one intervention and one comparison group (CG); the groups were randomly assigned. The intervention group engaged in the STS issues through flipped learning environment while the CG engaged in the STS issues in a traditional setting. A motivation questionnaire was administered to the groups at the beginning and at the end of the treatment; in addition, CL items were administered at the end of semester. The treatment took one semester. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to compare groups on pre-test scores; then, multivariate analysis of covariance was used to reveal the effect of treatments on motivation, its factors, and CL. The results indicated that utilizing STS issues through the flipped learning environment was superior to traditional STS instruction on increasing students’ overall motivation score, intrinsic motivation, and relevance of chemistry. No significant difference was observed in CL scores. Further studies are suggested to investigate the impact of flipped STS interventions on higher-order thinking skills including socio-scientific reasoning. © 2020 International Council of Associations for Science Education (ICASE).
