The flipped classroom model changes the learning dynamic from an instructor-centered design to a student-centered design whereby the student has more opportunities for practice with guidance and feedback from the instructor. The present study is an investigation on the impact of employing the features of a flipped educational model compared with a traditional model on student course grades across several years. We compared outcomes on performance measures (e.g., grades for quizzes, exams, and competencies) as well as overall course grades for students who engaged in a traditional model of the course to students who engaged in a flipped model of the course. The flipped method showed higher outcomes overall compared to the traditional method.
