The use of learning technologies, especially multimedia provide varied facilities for students’ learning that are not possible with other media. Pedagogical literature has proved that individuals have different learning styles. Flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach which means that activities that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom take place outside the classroom and vice versa. The flipped classroom environment ensures that students become more active participants compared with in the traditional classroom. The purpose of this paper is to fulfil the needs regarding the review of recent literature on the use of the flipped classroom approach in education. The contribution of the flipped classroom to education is discussed in relation to the changes in students' and instructors' role. Subsequently, flipped classroom applications in various disciplines of education are illustrated. The recommendations made in the literature for design specifications that integrate flipped classrooms with technology are discussed. The paper concludes that a careful consideration of the warnings and recommendations made in the literature can help to produce effective flipped classroom environments and also this paper attempts to inform those who are thinking of using new technologies and approaches to deliver courses. Keywords: flipped classroom, inverted classroom, blended learning, active learning.

The concept of the flipped classroom is a recent technological innovation in the educational environment that shows much promise. The flipped classroom is a learning model where direct instruction is replaced by videos and in the actual classrooms, students are encouraged to focus on important learning activities with their teachers instead. Many studies have been carried out regarding the use of the flipped classroom in different subjects. The purpose of this study is to indicate the flipped classroom study trends over the past five years. A total of 65 articles were analyzed as part of this study and the reporting of the study was grouped according to the following criteria: year of publication, research country, sample group, research method, subject area, research model and data collection tool. As a result of this study, it was found that the number of publications on flipped classrooms has increased year over year. The flipped classroom approach has been applied to 48 different subject areas and the qualitative research method was mostly used. This research aims to guide all researchers who are working with flipped classrooms.

El aula volteada es un modelo de aprendizaje donde la instrucción directa es reemplazada por videos y en las aulas reales, se anima a los estudiantes a enfocarse en actividades de aprendizaje importantes con sus maestros en su lugar. Se han llevado a cabo muchos estudios sobre el uso del aula volteada en diferentes materias. El propósito de este estudio es indicar las tendencias de los estudios en el aula en los últimos cinco años. Se analizaron 65 artículos como parte de este estudio y el reporte del estudio se agruparon de acuerdo con los siguientes criterios; Año de publicación, país de investigación, grupo de muestra, método de investigación, área temática, modelo de investigación y herramienta de recopilación de datos. Como resultado de este estudio, se encontró que el número de publicaciones en aulas volteadas había aumentado año a año. El enfoque de aula invertida se ha aplicado a 48 áreas temáticas diferentes y el método de investigación cualitativa se utilizó principalmente. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo guiar a todos los investigadores que trabajan con aulas volteadas.Palabras clave: aula volteada, aula invertida, aprendizaje combinado RED.

With the pandemic, there was an urgent transition to online education. In this process, challenges were experienced while benefiting from the opportunities of online education. This research aims to identify the existing literature on online education in higher education institutions during the pandemic and to highlight the opportunities and challenges reported in research in this process. The study was carried out as a systematic literature review. The results show that maintaining social distance and increased confidence in the effectiveness of e-learning are the main opportunities. The lack of practice, especially in medical applications, limited ICT resources, and pedagogical deficiencies in online environments are shown as challenges of online education during the pandemic. It is thought that this study will make significant contributions to the online education process post-pandemic. The results from this study reinforce previous study findings and identify research that will make the online learning process more effective. Based on the results obtained, suggestions are given for future online learning studies.  

As the COVID-19 epidemic caused new requirements in education, the use of various technologies and materials in science education has gained more importance for sustainability. Among other objectives, the subject of science aims to help students gain skills such as identifying problems, doing research, forming hypotheses, completing experiments, conducting analyses, and reporting the findings. Some of the problems experienced in science education are caused by the lack of tools and equipment. Through augmented reality (AR), a developing technology that is also used in the field of education, a digital layer is superimposed over authentic world images. The main aim of this study is to determine the views of students and teachers regarding augmented reality content developed for science education. The study group consists of 80 seventh-grade students and 4 science teachers. The study adopted a qualitative data collection method so the researchers developed and used semi-structured interview forms for the students and the teachers during the interviews. Both the students and the teachers reported the positive effects of AR practices on improving the understanding of science topics, offering a visual topic introduction, and contributing to the in-class interaction during class hours.
