Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which the conventional notion of classroom-based learning is inverted. This setting introduces students to the learning material before class. By doing so, classroom time can be used to deepen understanding through discussion with peers which promotes deeper cognitive thinking and problem-solving activities facilitated by teachers. Students acquire knowledge in a classroom context and can synthesis, analyze and evaluate this after the class within a traditional learning environment. In the flipped classroom, students acquire knowledge before the class and use classroom time to practice and apply concepts and ideas through interaction with peers and teachers. After the class, students reflect upon the feedback they have received and use this to further their learning.
