Summary
The flipped classroom is a way of organizing the lesson based on the use of technological tools, especially those of asynchronous education, but at the same time it uses the time of face-to-face meetings in an innovative way. Especially after the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid spread of online education, the flipped classroom can be an alternative way of organizing university courses, providing opportunities for increased student participation, promoting collaboration between them and developing soft skills. The meeting will present the basic theoretical elements of the flipped classroom, as well as data from its application in two six-month courses at the Department of Education and Early Childhood Education of the University of Patras.
