Using flipped classroom as an active teaching method for teaching engineering graphics

Abstract

Specialists in engineering must effectively communicate their ideas using technical drawings. To develop students' technical drawing skills, the subject of engineering graphics aims at using appropriate teaching methods. This study proposes a novel approach to teaching engineering graphics, that is, an active method of Flipped Classroom (FC) that incorporates H5P tools. These tools have been shown to effectively support self-directed learning and enable in-class activities, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of the FC method. The study results demonstrate a positive impact of the FC method on students' knowledge levels. By integrating the FC method with H5P tools, the study establishes a powerful learning environment that promotes deep learning and increases student engagement in engineering graphics.
