Lecturers’ Perception on Flipped Classroom

Abstract

This study explores how English teachers perceive the flipped classroom method. This research utilizes an interpretive qualitative case study approach, involving five main participants from the English Education Department. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the lecturers' perceptions of the flipped classroom, focusing on its advantages and challenges. The findings of this study show that two perception patterns emerged from the data: the benefits and challenges of the flipped classroom. The benefit of flipped classroom are optimized classroom dynamics, better retention of knowledge, and enhanced use of technology. In addition, the challenges of flipped classroom are time-consuming preparation, technological barriers, unequal student participation. The implication of this study that the flipped classroom model contributes significantly to the development of more interactive and technology-based teaching methods. Further research is needed to explore ways to address implementation challenges and its impact on learning outcomes across different contexts and disciplines.
