Abstract This study presents a large-scale systematic review of the literature on the flipped classroom, with the goals of examining its reported advantages and challenges for both students and instructors, and to note potentially useful areas of future research on the flipped model's in and out-of-class activities. The full range of Social Sciences Citation Indexed journals was surveyed through the Web of Science site, and a total of 71 research articles were selected for the review. The findings reveal that the most frequently reported advantage of the flipped classroom is the improvement of student learning performance. We also found a number of challenges in this model. The majority of these are related to out-of-class activities, such as much reported inadequate student preparation prior to class. Several other challenges and the numerous advantages of the flipped classroom are discussed in detail. We then offer suggestions for future research on flipped model activities.

Does the Flipped Classroom Improve Student Learning and Satisfaction? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2019, background): “…2018; Karabulut-Ilgu et al., 2018), but the evidence is at least partly anecdotal (Bishop & Verleger, 2013) and often mixed (Betihavas et al., 2016; F. Chen, Lui, & Martinelli, 2017), especially with regard to student perceptions (Akçayır & Akçayır, 2018; Brewer & Movahedazarhouligh, 2018).”
Facilitating student engagement through the flipped learning approach in K-12: A systematic review (2020, methodology): “…2018; Lo & Hew, 2017; van Alten et al., 2019), enjoyment (Tütüncü & Aksu, 2018), positive and increased interactions with the teacher and peers (Akçayır & Akçayır, 2018; Lo & Hew, 2017; Lo et al., 2017; Lundin et al., 2018; Tütüncü & Aksu, 2018), and overall engagement (Akçayır & Akçayır, 2018).”
Effects of flipping the classroom on learning outcomes and satisfaction: A meta-analysis (2019, background): “Important benefits and challenges of FTC are provided by recent review studies (e.g., Akçayır & Akçayır, 2018; Lo et al., 2017).”
Challenges in the online component of blended learning: A systematic review (2020, methodology): “For example, the study of (G. Akçayır & Akçayır, 2018) that reported the advantages and challenges of flipped classroom is only limited to flipped classroom type of blended learning, and it specifically reported the technological challenges found in flipped classrooms.”
A critical evaluation, challenges, and future perspectives of using artificial intelligence and emerging technologies in smart classrooms (2023, background): “…tasks usually performed in the classroom, like presenting the lecture, are conducted at home, while homework is discussed and performed in class (Akçayır et al., 2018) whereas a Virtual classroom is defined as a new educational environment that allows students to attend courses online while…”
