Abstract

The current study aimed to study the effect of using a flipped classroom on academic achievement, creative thinking skills, and the creative self- efficacy, and to investigate the impact of its use on students' satisfaction and their attitudes towards generalizing distance learning.
The creative thinking test and the translated creative self-efficacy measurement were applied after verifying their validity on a sample of (50) male and female students enrolled in the fourth year from Psychology Department at the Faculty of Education, Damanhour University. They were divided into two equal groups, then the vocational psychology course was taught for both of them, but with the application of the Experimental treatment on the Experimental group only; After completing the target part, they were assigned an activity evaluated by experts to assess the degree of their innovation in it, and then the tools including both of “the achievement test, the creative thinking test, the creative self-efficacy measurement, the course evaluation form, and the questionnaire of attitudes towards generalizing distance learning” were applied to both groups
The results revealed that the use of partially active flipped classroom had a positive effect on learning outcomes, especially on the higher levels; it was also a supportive context for students' creative thinking skills, which were confirmed by experts ’assessments of their innovative work on the task they were assigned to. It also improved their beliefs about their skills “creative self-efficacy," and increased their attitudes towards generalizing distance learning..
