Abstract — The rapid development of technology and the increasing focus on student-centred learning have changed educational practices worldwide. One of the innovative pedagogical approaches that have gained prominence in recent years is the flipped classroom model which is a significant development in contemporary education. The flipped classroom is the inverse of the traditional model of instruction where the majority of the classroom time is spent lecturing and delivering content. Instruction is instead delivered outside of the classroom and classroom time is used for active learning, collaboration and problem-solving activities. In this paper the historical development of flipped classroom learning, its theoretical bases, application in different educational systems and anticipated educational outcomes and challenges are discussed. The study talks about the practices of education worldwide and points out the revolutionary impact of flipped learning on the teaching and learning processes which result in better student engagement, autonomy and academic achievements. The paper concludes that flipped learning has evolved from a simple teaching strategy to a flexible evidence-based pedagogical approach that is able to meet the changing needs of the twenty-first century learners. The use of new technologies and learner-centred strategies in educational institutions provides a workable framework to increase teaching efficiency and encourage lifelong learning through flipped learning.

Keywords: Flipped classroom, student-centred learning, educational technology, active learning, pedagogical innovation, and digital education.
