Abstract :

The important mission of education is to help the all-round development of students intellectually, behaviorally and attitudinally. Academic optimism is considered one of the most important components of attitudinal growth and a complement to the intellectual and behavioral growth of students, which has attracted the attention of education specialists and researchers in this field. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the effect of the flipped classroom teaching method on the components of academic optimism in mathematics. The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research includes all the students of the 6th grade of elementary school in Varzeghan city, firstly, 34 people were selected by the available sampling method, then two experimental groups (17 people) were randomly selected due to the homogeneity of the samples. and control (17 people) were replaced. To collect data, the Academic Optimism Questionnaire (AOQ) of Schennen Moran et al. (2013) was used with a reliability of 0.93 for the whole test. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance method and SPSS26 software. The findings showed that the flipped classroom teaching method significantly increases students' academic optimism in the components of student trust in the teacher (P<0.001), academic emphasis (P=0.013) and school unity (P=0.015). As a result, the flipped classroom teaching method is considered one of the most effective methods of developing academic optimism, which is recommended to sixth grade teachers.
