Abstract
Flipped classroom is a student-centered approach that enables students to acquire knowledge before the class and use the classroom time to practice and apply concepts and ideas through interaction with peers and teachers. Many studies explored the impact of the flipped Classroom model over the conventional teaching method. The model enhances students' engagement and learning achievement. However, little is known about the factors affecting student's motivation in the FC model. Therefore, this study employed a qualitative method to explore the factors influencing students' motivation in a flipped classroom and investigate the advantages and challenges of using the FC model. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data. Twenty 200 level undergraduate students were interviewed based on the condition that they must have taken flipped classes. Thematic analysis was used to identify the factors affecting students’ motivation. The results showed that the perceived relevance of pre-class materials, learning independence, Clear expectations, responsibility, technological know-how, and access to necessary resources extensively influence students' motivation in the FC model. Furthermore, the results revealed that the FC model benefited students by increasing student engagement, promoting active and personalized learning, encouraging teamwork, and fostering a deeper understanding of class materials and concepts. However, the results also revealed some challenges students faced during the FC, including unstable internet connection, lack of computer access, and poor steady power supply. The study concluded that certain factors need to be considered for the successful conduct of the FC model. More so, institutions should integrate the use of flipped classroom in their instructions as well as instructors should adopt motivating strategies when using flipped classroom
