The study synthesized 15 primary meta-analyses involving 156,722 participants to test the impact of the flipped classroom approach on student learning outcomes in higher education. Results suggest that the flipped classroom approach has a positive effect on student learning outcomes and educators should consider using this approach in their teaching practices.
Flipped classroom has become a popular buzzword in the post-secondary education setting, and it is one of the most visible trends in smart learning environments. Alongside this popularisation comes the view that the flipped classroom is something desirable. Yet, many educators remain divided over whether flipped classroom is really an improvement over traditional approaches. This paper is the first to synthesise all relevant meta-analytic information using a second-order meta-analysis approach on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom on student learning outcomes. By synthesising the findings of multiple primary meta-analyses instead of individual empirical studies, a second-order meta-analysis can more accurately account for publication bias and generate a more robust result. The present study synthesised and analysed the quality of 15 primary meta-analyses that involved 156,722 participants in flipped and non-flipped conditions to provide the most exhaustive test of the flipped classroom approach on its effect on student learning outcomes in higher education to date. The mean random effect size, after trim-and-fill adjustment, was 0.37, p < 0.001 in support of flipped classrooms. To check the accuracy of the second-order meta-analysis results, we performed a study-level meta-analytic validation. We discuss possible contextual and methodological moderators. Implications for practice or policy: Educators should consider using the flipped classroom approach in their teaching because it increases learning performance compared with conventional non-flipped teaching. Educators could use the insights reported in this study to inform planning for future meta-analyses involving the flipped classroom approach. Educators could also use the insights reported in this study to inform planning for future empirical studies involving the flipped classroom approach.
