Is It An Innovation That Contributes Value-Added Learning? A Critical Review of Literature Review on Flipped Learning Environments

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive examination of flipped learning as an emerging pedagogical approach within the realm of education. The primary objectives were to investigate the design, efficacy, and challenges associated with flipped learning, with a focus on its impact on students' learning experiences, including engagement, motivation, and achievement.Through a thorough review of 28 empirical studies on flipped learning, this research provides valuable insights into its evolution and application. The findings are organized into three main sections. First, the study delineates the main features of flipped learning studies, including publication trends, educational contexts, research purposes, subjects, and research designs.Second, the study scrutinizes the design of flipped learning, emphasizing the dual phases of pre-classroom preparation and in-classroom activities. The use of instructional videos, digital texts, quizzes, and various classroom activities are explored, shedding light on the diverse approaches within flipped learning.Third, the study critically evaluates the efficacy of flipped learning, particularly its impact on student achievement, motivation, and engagement. Findings from the reviewed studies suggest that flipped learning can significantly enhance students' academic performance, promote motivation, and foster engagement in the learning process. However, some variations in outcomes exist, highlighting the importance of factors such as instructional design and context.Additionally, the study highlights common challenges faced when implementing flipped learning, including student workload, adjustment to the new learning environment, technology access issues, content creation demands for educators, and the role of parental support.In conclusion, this research offers a holistic perspective on flipped learning, underscoring its potential as an effective educational strategy while acknowledging the challenges associated with its adoption. These findings can inform educators and institutions seeking to optimize their learning environments and pedagogical practices.
