Content analysis of research papers on flipped learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the current state of research publication and trends in flipped learning, found on 'Web of Science' during the period 2014-2018. There are 262 papers investigated, published and indexed on 'Web of Science' with the keyword: “flipped learning” and “flipped classroom”. The results of the study are analysed according to the journal of publication by these criteria: author, countries, funding agencies, document types, languages, organisation, publication years and source title. Flipped learning changes the traditional lecturing by flipping the classroom in the sense of listening to the video lectures at home and doing dynamic, group-based activities in the classroom. This engages the students in active learning, critical thinking, and meliorates interpersonal skills.It is recommended to authors to explore the possibility of utilising this method, experimenting and publish the findings which allows to create best practices and a unified framework for leading instructors who want to adopt this teaching methodology.
