THE ROLE OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL IN MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

The Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) has emerged as a transformative approach in modern education, shifting traditional teaching paradigms by reversing the conventional learning structure. Instead of delivering lectures in class and assigning practice exercises as homework, FCM encourages students to engage with instructional content, such as videos and readings, outside the classroom. This model reallocates in-class time for collaborative discussions, problem-solving, and active learning activities, fostering deeper student engagement and critical thinking. This study explores the pedagogical implications of the flipped classroom approach, examining its effectiveness in enhancing student learning outcomes, motivation, and retention of knowledge. Through a review of existing literature and empirical studies, we analyze how FCM supports differentiated instruction, self-paced learning, and student-centered pedagogy. Additionally, the article addresses the challenges associated with implementing FCM, including technological barriers, teacher preparedness, and student adaptability.
