Effects of flipping the classroom on learning outcomes and satisfaction: A meta-analysis
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
Flipping the classroom had a small positive effect on learning outcomes and no effect on students' satisfaction, with large differences between studies. Flipped classes did better when face-to-face class time wasn't cut, and when quizzes were added.
