A study found that physics students were more confident in their ability to understand course content when using a flipped classroom approach combining reflective study with collaborative activities. The flipped classroom model had students learning new material on their own before class through videos or readings, then using class time for collaborative work and applying what they learned. A long-term study across multiple institutions found this approach improved how students perceived their ability to learn physics compared to a traditional lecture-based model.
