The purpose of this applied research was to investigate the effect of flipped classroom education on the water literacy of third-grade elementary students. This research is a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and the statistical population included third-grade students of one of the girls' schools in Khomein in the academic year 2021-2022. In order to select the sample of this study, 60 students were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided into 2 groups (one experimental group and one control group) of 30 people. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on water literacy, the reliability of which was evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and its content validity was evaluated by Lavache method. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that flipped classroom education had a positive and significant effect on water literacy of third-grade elementary students and its cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral dimensions (at the level of 0.01). Based on the findings, it was concluded that flipped classroom can be one of the effective approaches to education to improve students' water literacy.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Casts on environmental students’ learning with flipped classroom method and compare with current virtual education method in Payame Noor University. The research method is semi-experimental with pre and posttest in two groups. The statistical population included all virtual master students majoring in environmental education who consisted of 170 students among whom 60 were selected through available sampling, and then were divided into two groups. The research instrument was a researcher-made test consisted of 20 questions whose validity was estimated by some experts and its reliability was measured via Cronbach’s alpha as 0.82. The procedure consisted of 12 sessions with current virtual class for witness group and for the experimental group, gave some podcasts about courses before the session was started and they had exercises and group discussion in class. The collected data were analyzed by SPSSv.22 in both descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Paired t-test and independent t-test). The results showed that there was a significant difference between students’ learning with the podcast education in the flipped classroom method and current virtual education (sig=0.000). Based on the results of this study, it seems that using podcasts in virtual education has a greater impact on students` learning and it is better to include it in the curriculum development of virtual courses.
