The data were analyzed through multivariable analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), single variable analysis (ANCOVA) and Bonferroni's post hoc test. Findings showed significant difference between effectiveness of flipped (P<0.05) versus traditional instruction (P<0.01) on problem-based learning and self-determination. Based on the results of this study, flipped education has more effectiveness on perception of class and academic attitude, compared with traditional instruction.
