ABSTRACT
A Flipped Classroom is organised to develop students’ understanding of the concepts in a better way, rather than transmitting theoretical lessons through lectures. It provides students the opportunities to access technology-based learning in homely environment as well as the face-to-face interaction in classroom situation. The present study is carried out by the researchers to examine the attitude of Post Graduate level students in Purulia District of West Bengal towards Flipped Classroom. Total 200 Post Graduate level students of Purulia district were taken from Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University as the sample of the study by using Stratified Random Sampling technique. A self-made structured Attitude Scale on Flipped Classroom was developed and used by the researchers to collect necessary data from the sample. The data were analysed by applying proper statistical techniques using SPSS 26. The results revealed that there were no significant differences between the attitude of male and female Post Graduate level students; rural and urban Post Graduate level students; and Post Graduate level students of Language and Social Science group respectively towards Flipped Classroom. No differences were found between the attitudes of Rural Male & Urban Male; Rural Male & Rural Female; and Urban Male & Urban Female Post Graduate level students. There were also no significant differences between the attitudes of Male and Female Post Graduate level students of Language group and Social Science group respectively. Hence, a significant difference was found between the attitude of Rural Female and Urban Female Post Graduate level students towards Flipped Classroom.
