The flipped classroom is known as an inverted classroom. It offers student-centered peer-assisted learning, monitored by teachers as facilitators, rather than as transmitters of knowledge.

It requires students to take the lead in preparing for the lessons, traditionally by watching videos teachers make to pre-teach key concepts/knowledge at home in advance, and students come back to class to actively interact with peers in order to generate or explore knowledge and concepts.

A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which aims to increase student engagement and learning by having pupils complete readings at home and work on live problem-solving during class time.

This pedagogical style moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. With a flipped classroom, students watch online lectures, collaborate in online discussions, or carry out research at home, while actively engaging concepts in the classroom, with a teacher's guidance.

Flipped classrooms allow students to actively engage in the lesson and get the chance to solve novel problems. With the teacher's guidance and support, the students can acquire and construct knowledge by themselves.

We move the teacher's talk forward before a lesson so as to leave students' participation in the lesson.

With the advent of mobile technology and other e-learning tools, lesson input can be in any form, from notes to videos and from quizzes to games. Students learn at their own pace, anytime and anywhere.

During the lesson, the teacher serve as a facilitator to guide students' learning and their participation through instant feedback. Meanwhile, students can learn from their peers, which maximizes collaboration skills.

Flipped classroom:

Students first study the topic themselves at home. For example, students watch the topic-related videos at their own pace. The class time will be reserved for discussion or other class activities.
