Flipped Classroom
Research Guide
What is Flipped Classroom?
Flipped Classroom is an inverted teaching model where students access instructional content online before class, using in-class time for active learning and application.
This approach shifts lectures to pre-class videos or micro-lectures, freeing class for discussions and problem-solving. Studies report improved student outcomes in STEM courses (Zhang, 2019; 14 citations; Zhou & Deng, 2017; 13 citations). Over 10 papers from 2017-2022 examine its implementation in engineering and language teaching.
Why It Matters
Flipped classrooms enhance active learning in higher education, boosting student motivation and performance in technical subjects (Sukmawati et al., 2020; 26 citations). Haiyan Zhang (2019) designed a system for college English, improving quality through network integration. Zhou Ning-ning and Yulong Deng (2017) applied micro-learning resources in microcomputer courses, supporting constructivist principles for better retention.
Key Research Challenges
Faculty Adoption Barriers
Teachers face challenges in creating pre-class materials and shifting from lecture-based delivery (Guo-rong, 2018; 14 citations). Macro environmental factors like policy and resources hinder information-based teaching development. Adoption requires training in platforms integrating ARCS motivation theory (Zhang, 2017; 31 citations).
Student Preparation Compliance
Ensuring students complete online content before class remains difficult, impacting in-class activities (Haiyan Zhang, 2019; 14 citations). Blended models show mixed perceptions on cooperative learning outcomes (Sukmawati et al., 2020; 26 citations). Motivation models like ARCS address this via tailored micro-lectures.
Technology Integration Issues
Developing platforms with Android, SQL, and multimodal tools demands technical expertise (Zhang, 2017; Tuo & Baoxin, 2022; 15 citations). Civil engineering platforms based on ARCS struggle with mobile deployment. Educational design research highlights practical application gaps in post-secondary settings (Kopcha et al., 2015; 13 citations).
