This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of flipped classrooms in improving online learning self-efficacy and academic engagement among teacher trainees at Farhangian University. The study used a semi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all Farhangian University students during the 2023-2024 academic year. Using available sampling method, two groups of 36 teacher trainees were selected from the Shahid Modarres Campus of Farhangian University in Sanandaj. One group was randomly designated as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The experimental group participated in flipped classroom sessions, while the control group received traditional teaching methods. Data collection tools included the Online Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (OLSES) by Zimmerman & Kulikowich (2016) with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88, and the Academic Engagement Questionnaire by Fredricks et al. (2004) with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.86. Both the face validity and content validity of the questionnaires were evaluated by a panel of experts and confirmed. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22), employing both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), at a significance level of α=0.05. The results indicated significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of all three dimensions of Online Learning Self-Efficacy: online learning, time management, and technology use. Furthermore, the experimental group showed significantly higher levels of behavioral and motivational engagement compared to the control group, while no statistically significant difference was found in cognitive engagement between the two groups. It is thus recommended that sufficient opportunities and resources be provided for Farhangian University instructors to implement this approach effectively and maximize the use of modern technologies

This research investigated the effect of using the reverse-learning approach on academic goal-oriented and lifelong learning of teacher students of Farhangian University. This is an applied research using a quasi-experimental research method. The research design was pre-test and post-test with the experimental and control groups. The population of this research included all teacher students of Farhangian University who were studying in the academic years 2018 and 2019. A cluster randomized two-stage random sampling method was used to collect the sample. At first, a pre-test of educational goal-orientation and lifelong learning was administered in both groups and after the implementation of the course at the end of the first semester, both groups were subjected to the post-test. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics, multivariate analysis of covariance analysis were used. Findings of the study showed the effectiveness of reverse education compared with the traditional method on academic goals and lifelong learning.
