3. Scope and Significance of the Study

As this study aimed to investigate the perceptions of mathematics teachers on
flipped classroom approach towards the career and life skills, it has been

revealed that mathematics teachers' attitudes and perceptions are critically
important for empowering the implementation of the innovative teaching

approach in mathematics education. Therefore, mathematics teachers

represent one major beneficiary of this study. In addition, the Ministry of
Education and Higher Education can benefit from the results to plan for

training courses and workshops to publicise the effectiveness of flipped
classroom approach. These results can also contribute to the design of training

courses and workshops to disseminate the effectiveness of the flipped
classroom.
