The instruments of the study (a multiple choice achievement test in methods teaching science course and the technology acceptance scale in the form of a 5-point Likert scale) were prepared and administered to the participants before and after teaching the course. The results of the study revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group participants in both achievement in the methods of teaching science course and acceptance of technology, which indicates the effectiveness of flipped learning in achieving the aim of the study.
