Abstract

The study examined the integration of flipped classroom model in the teaching and learning of database management system for effective students’ self-directed learning. The population of this study is 46 students drawn from senior secondary school class 2 through purposive sampling technique, this is because of the availability of ICT facility and power supply within Anglican grammar school, Nsukka which is one the secondary schools located within Nsukka Education zone of Enugu state. A total number of 20 students were designated as experimental group and the other 26 was the control group. The flipped classroom was applied to the Control group. Self-directed learning scales were used as method of data collection through the instructional model emphasizing self-directed learning with flip learning. The instrument was face validated by two computer studies teacher from university secondary school, Nsukka. Cronbach alpha reliability was used in determining the internal consistency of the instrument which yielded reliability index of 0.86.The data collected were analyzed using t-test and ANCOVA. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between individual, on their ability to engage in self-directed learning and that self-directed levels of students using the flipped classroom model were higher than those in the conventional learning group. The recommendation was made that Enugu State Ministry of Education should adopt the integration of flipped classroom model in the teaching and learning of database management system for effective students’ self-directed learning.
