Would Flipped Classroom be My Approach in Teaching Computing Courses: Literature Review

Adopting technology in education has been introduced in different models. Flipped classroom as one of the blended learning approach was tested and applied in teaching computing courses. This approach shows promising evidence that it is efficient through research evaluating it. This paper aims to review the research conducted in the flipped classroom, and in particular from computer science education perspective. The study involved a review of 20 studies that applied the flipped classroom in teaching computing courses. These studies involved experiments varying from longitudinal to a single semester evaluation. Indeed, the majority of these reports concerned a CS1 course (introductory programming course). Therefore, this paper discusses and reviews the current literature reporting research conducted on flipped classroom from computer science perspectives.
