Abstract

Background: Reforms in higher education due to the advent of new technologies require a shift in traditional education. The flipped classroom approach can be a solution to such educational changes to create a student-centered individual learning environment.
Materials and Methods: This approach, which is a type of blended learning, effectively integrates traditional and online education using both in and out of the classroom environment. The paper presents evidence around derived from a systematic review of the literature on the use of flipped classroom approach in higher education. A comprehensive search through multiple known databases identified a dataset of 548 papers from which 31 papers met the criteria for in-depth analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed that flipped classroom approach has a positive effect on learning, reducing cognitive load, engagement, accuracy, motivation, attitude, satisfaction from the course, and self-efficacy in higher education. One of the most important challenges of the flipped classroom were the lack of familiarity and adaptation of the students to the flipped method, the increase of teachers' load and the learning issues of the video.
Conclusion: According to the analysis of the findings of the selected research studies, it is concluded that the higher education system can effectively use this method.
