The flipped classroom is a blended learning approach that utilizes educational technology, allowing students to learn at their own pace through videos and online resources, while classroom time is dedicated to applying knowledge and problem-solving. This method emphasizes student responsibility and engagement, shifting from traditional lecturing to facilitation by instructors. However, challenges such as lack of resources and the need for skilled staff for video production may hinder its implementation in some schools.
