Abstract

This study aims to analyse the challenges in implementing the Discovery Flipped Classroom model assisted by Google Sites in mathematics learning in North Maluku Province. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the study involved 250 students and 40 teachers from three senior high schools. Data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire measuring four dimensions of challenges: technical, pedagogical, student motivation and teacher readiness. Results showed that technical issues were the biggest challenge for students (M=3.85, SD=0.724) mainly related to internet accessibility and device availability, while teachers faced the main challenge on the pedagogical aspect (M=3.78, SD=0.745) in adapting learning strategies. The student motivation dimension showed moderate challenges (M=3.24, SD=0.912), while teacher readiness showed different perceptions between students (M=2.95) and teachers (M=3.56). These findings provide important insights for the development of more effective technology-based learning implementation strategies, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure.
