Abstract
The study investigated the impact of flipped learning on academic performance among secondary school mathematics students in trigonometry in Birnin Kebbi metropolis. Two research objectives were set to guide the study. Additionally, two research questions and two research hypotheses were formulated to address the objectives. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed in this study. The population of the study consisted of all the three thousand and sixty two (3062) SSS1 students from the seventeen (17) Secondary Schools in Birnin Kebbi Metropolis. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 2 secondary schools. Two intact classes comprised of one hundred and five (105) students as sample were used for the study. They were assigned into an experimental group of 56 students (38 male, 18 female) and control group of 49 students (31 male, 18 female). The pilot sample consisted of 20 students (13 males, 7 female) was randomly selected from the population outside of the study sample. Structured Trigonometry Achievement Test (TAT) served as instrument used for data collection and hypotheses were analyzed using t-test at p≤0.05 level of significance using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences. The results of this study revealed that, students taught trigonometry with flipped learning obtained higher achievement mean scores than those of their counterparts taught the same topics with traditional method in Birnin Kebbi metropolis and also shown that male students had slightly improved mean achievement scores than their female counterparts taught Trigonometry using flipped learning in Birnin Kebbi metropolis and the difference was significant.
