Review:
Flipped Classroom Methodology
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
The flipped-classroom methodology is an instructional approach in which traditional teaching structures are reversed. Instead of introducing new content during class time and assigning homework for practice, students first engage with instructional materials (such as videos, readings, or online tutorials) outside of class. Classroom sessions are then dedicated to interactive activities, discussions, and problem-solving exercises that reinforce learning and foster deeper understanding.
