GENERAL TRENDS OF STUDIES ON FLIPPED CLASSROOMMODEL: BIBLIOMETRIC MAPPING AND CONTENT ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study, which was based on qualitative research design, aimed to examine the research trends and results of bibliometric mapping analyses of articles about the Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) in education in the past ten years. For this purpose, 126 articles published with the keywords; flipped classroom, education, social science, science, chemistry, biology, and physicsbetween the years of 2010- 2019 were accessed through the Web of Science database. Out of these 126 articles, 63 were selected using criterion sampling model for the bibliometric and the content analysis. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, it was seen that the most frequently mentioned keywords were flipped classroom, active learning, and chemical education with many of them focusing more on “motivation”. The result of the content analysis showed that the variables included not only “motivation” and “perception” but also “academic achievement/performance” as the most common topics in the studies. The results also revealed that the most commonly used data collecting instruments were achievement tests, questionnaires and scales; the most commonly preferred sample groups were university students; and the most commonly utilized research design was the quantitative method.
