Potentials and challenges in the implementation of flipped classroom

Abstract

Flipped classroom is one of the pedagogies that created from the revolution of the use of technology in education that has changed the form of teaching, and to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Through the flipped classroom method, the use of technology is capable of providing students with reference materials to learn outside of teaching and learning session before the process of teaching and learning in the classroom happens. Thus, the time in the classroom can be provided with hands-on activities and group works. Although the implementation of the flipped classroom empirically and potentially proven to be implemented more widely, but there are some issues that need to be prioritized especially in the context of the flipped classroom learning method itself. In addition, improvements in technology and equipment also contributed to the existence of some challenges in the implementation of the flipped classroom method. In addition, this paper will describe and investigate the challenges in the implementation of the flipped classroom from different aspects. This is to ensure the implementation of the flipped classroom is not just technology usage solely. The author believes that the implementation of an effective flipped classroom should give consideration to all elements that can impact positively and negatively on this method.
