Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of flipped classroom models on student autonomy and performance in higher education settings. By analyzing multiple case studies across various disciplines, the research highlights the effectiveness of pre-class video lectures combined with in-class active learning activities. Results indicate that students in flipped classrooms exhibit higher levels of self-directed learning and improved academic performance compared to traditional lecture-based classes.
