Understanding Digital Native Parents' Perspectives of Flipped Classrooms: An Exploratory Case Study
Medone, Laura Michelle
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Northcentral University
The need to prepare students with 21st-century skills via technology integration into the classrooms is a must. This need has led to innovations in pedagogy such as flipped classroom models. This phenomenon makes use of technology to deliver the content of the class at home, allowing classroom time to be more productively spent extending the knowledge and creating higher order thinking skills while simultaneously incorporating life-long skills for the students. At the same time, parental involvement in the student's education is more essential than ever. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine digital immigrant parents' perceptions of the flipped classroom model through the theoretical lens of Bandura's Social cognitive theory and parental self-efficacy to develop a deeper understanding of how parents are supporting their digital native teens in an innovative flipped classroom environment. The aim was to provide a foundational knowledge of the influences, motivations, challenges, and benefits of the flipped classroom as perceived by digital immigrant parents. The study provided insights on how parents are adapting to educational models, which they did not experience first-hand, and how this might affect student and family involvement in the teen's education. The participants for the study were digital immigrant parents who have digital native teens in secondary schools that incorporate flipped classroom models. The findings provided insight into parents' perspectives, demonstrating that digital immigrant parents require more information and assistance in understanding the flipped classroom order to assist their teens better. Future research is needed on the quantity and quality of the current communications as well as the effects of general digital interactions with digital immigrant parents.
