Effects of Flipped Classroom Instruction: Evidence from a Randomized Trial
We checked this card's citation and the finding we state against the source's own page or record in October 2026.
What it found
A flipped classroom produced short-term gains in math and no effect in economics. Gains went mainly to higher-achieving students, widening the achievement gap, and there were no long-term average effects on learning, though the wider gap persisted. The authors advise caution.
