The study investigates the effect using the flipped classroom strategy on developing Fiqh concepts and the attitudes toward them among middle school female students. The instruments include a Fiqh concepts achievement test and an attitudes scale towards the flipped classroom strategy. The sample (N= 63), from the first-grade students, was divided into a control group and an experimental group. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the means scores of the experimental group students (who studied with the flipped classroom strategy) and the control group students (who studied traditionally) in the post-test concepts in favor of the experimental group. Concerning the experimental group, the results also indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.01) between the means scores of the pre and post- application of the attitudes scale in favor of the post- application. The research recommended the need to use the flipped classroom strategy in Islamic education courses. (Published abstract)
