Board 183: A Case Study of AFL Models on Factors of Engaged Learning in STEM Education

With Active Flipped Learning (AFL) model, some STEM instructors and education instructors at HBCUs provided instructional video, audio, lecture notes, and reading materials while initiating active learning activities in class to engage students in active flipped learning. By monitoring students' engagement, instructors formulated a custom-tailored plan to fit each under-representative student in STEM. After practicing the longitudinal research for three years, some results were found during the procedure. The AFL model is effective in improving the performance of under-represented students in various science disciplines, including engineering, physics, and mathematics. It helps foster a deep understanding of STEM disciplines among these students, encourages them to engage more in STEM learning, and eventually leads to personalized data-driven learning in STEM education for them.
