Effect of Flipped Classroom Approach on Academic Achievement, Prosocial Behaviour and Study Habits

The 21st century's educational system is constantly evolving. The education sector faces ongoing problems as a result of education 4.0 and industry 4.0. To stay up with the changes, educators and students must make constant revisions. Two alternative learning pedagogies that appeal to tech-savvy students in the twenty-first century who would rather listen passively than actively participate in class are blended learning and the flipped classroom approach. The current generation of students is not interested in using print textbooks as their only learning tool, hence the traditional classroom does not work for them. These days, colleges and universities provide a variety of online courses that students can finish at their own leisure.

       Students are comfortable with technology, but for socioeconomic and cultural reasons, they are not guaranteed access to ICT-based self-learning. Both blended learning and the flipped classroom approach have unique benefits, but they also have drawbacks. The flipped classroom technique is examined in this thesis, including with its advantages and disadvantages for teaching and learning, particularly during the COVID-19 period when lessons were entirely conducted online.

       By making its citizens civilized, cultured, capable, and productive via the development of the proper knowledge, attitude, skills, and values necessary for coexisting peacefully, education prepares the way for a safer and more tranquil world. In its purest form, education ought to enable people to make sense of their values, make thoughtful decisions while considering the ramifications of their choices, choose peace over violence, and be peacemakers rather than just peace consumers.  In order to achieve "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in its truest sense, education for peace aims to cultivate the appropriate knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and values. Within a framework of moral and human values, education for peace promotes children's physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual development and uplift.
