Flipped Classrooms with Diverse Learners: International Perspectives

What changes when students encounter course material before class and use shared classroom time for learning activities? Flipped Classrooms with Diverse Learners: International Perspectives explores that question through research-informed discussion and examples from schools, universities, and professional education. Its focus is not one subject or age group, but the varied ways flipped teaching has been put into practice.

Many subjects, many classroom contexts

The first part brings together examples from primary and secondary education, including mathematics, English language arts and literacy, physical education, computer science, and language teaching in Korea and China. A chapter on diverse learners sits alongside this subject-focused coverage, offering a broader view of how flipped instruction relates to different learner needs and settings.

From school classrooms to professional learning

The collection then moves into higher education and adult learning. Chapters address university teaching, business administration, management accounting, teacher education, biomedical science, and medical training. This range lets readers consider how the approach appears across disciplines, rather than treating it as a method confined to one kind of lesson.

Research and practice in conversation

Alongside classroom cases, the book discusses the background and theoretical underpinnings of flipped learning and places contributors’ studies in the context of existing research. The result is a practical, cross-context perspective that also acknowledges questions about the approach’s strengths and limitations.

For educators looking beyond one model

Educators and researchers interested in instructional design, educational technology, or teaching across varied learner populations may find this collection especially relevant. Its international examples offer starting points for comparing practice and considering which approaches might suit a particular educational context.
