Abstract

The flipped classroom approach has been cited as a method for increasing student engagement, enhancing content comprehension, and integrating practical application of concepts. Opponents note its complex nature as a barrier to successful integration. To mitigate this limitation, a faculty member in agricultural economics worked with a faculty member in agricultural education to create and present an upper-level agricultural sales course with flipped and traditional instructional components. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of delivery methods on student confidence. Impacts of the two approaches were assessed through a pre/post course survey of student perceptions of content topics and confidence in knowledge of individual course topics. Although grades were similar to previous semesters, students had varying degrees of change in confidence and knowledge for information presented through the flipped or traditional methods. The instructor benefited by a reinvigorated approach to a topic that had suffered from stagnation. The benefits to students’ confidence and knowledge, and the reinvigorated energy the instructor gained outweighed the costs to the effort of creating the flipped components, and a collaborative approach is recommended for those content experts uncertain of their ability to flip a classroom.
