In analysing the theme of students looking for meaning in their learning, we first looked for any
behaviour trends when the students accessed the lesson online, and also the level of
understanding of the topics taught in the flipped classroom. After watching the online lecture,
50% of the Year 1 students reported in the questionnaire that they replayed and paused the online
lecture to take notes and to understand the lesson. Relating to their understanding of the topics
taught, respondents from both cohorts interviewed had a high understanding, with an average
ranking of 4 out of 5 (highest) as outlined in Table 1. In the second flipped class for Year 1
students, 44% of the respondents felt they understood the topic well and ranked it at 5 (as
outlined in Figure 3). These results show that most learners are engaged in their learning when
using the technology to watch the online lecture. From the nine interview respondents with the
Year 1 cohort, one student, after watching the online lecture, even looked for more information
online and two students understood the topic well enough to apply it to the personal projects they
took on.
