Abstract

The paper focuses on the flipped classroom or flipped learning method, which is a modern, innovative approach to teaching in the educational space. It is designed so that lectures are pre-recorded, students listen to them outside of class, and class time is dedicated to active student participation. Such an approach enables students to be more (self)motivated and flexible in their learning, (co)active (participative) learning, to develop critical thinking, to exploit the potential of information and communication technologies, to improve their academic performance and sustainable learning, and to take responsibility for their own progress. It also helps to optimise teachers' performance, attitudes and more constructive interaction between the two stakeholders. Although the model under discussion has not yet been implemented in the Slovenian educational system to the same extent as in foreign educational practices, the analysis of the synthesis of relevant (theoretical and empirical) literature – on which the present paper is based (despite some challenges compared to traditional teaching/learning) – shows a number of advantages for the teacher and the student, as well as for the lessons in general.
