Research, Perspectives, and Recommendations on Implementing the Flipped Classroom

Cristina Rotellar et al. Am J Pharm Educ. .

Abstract

Flipped or inverted classrooms have become increasingly popular, and sometimes controversial, within higher education. Many educators have touted the potential benefits of this model and initial research regarding implementation has been primarily positive. The rationale behind the flipped classroom methodology is to increase student engagement with content, increase and improve faculty contact time with students, and enhance learning. This paper presents a summary of primary literature regarding flipped classrooms, discusses concerns and unanswered questions from both a student and faculty member perspective, and offers recommendations regarding implementation.

Keywords: education; flipped classrooms; teaching.
