A Study on the Research and Operation Trends of Learner Centered Teaching Methods : Focusing on Flipped Learning

The purpose of this study is to analyze the research and operational trends of flipped learning in the last five years. For this purpose, we analyzed 441 academic papers provided by DBPIA, e-Article, KISS, and Scholar. In the last five years, the study was categorized by year of publication, academic field, research area, research target, and subject area. Since 2015, flipped learning related research has been on the rise, especially in the field of education in 251 (56.9%), effectiveness studies in 161 (36.5%) and undergraduate / graduate students 347 (78.7%). The number of subjects related to major education was 246 (55.8%) and 130 (29.5%). As the results of the study show, quantitative expansion of studies related to flipped learning is occurring in university education, but efforts are made to expand performance by preparing policy support strategies in order to ensure the quality of flipped learning operation in universities. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for improving the teaching-learning environment of educational institutions.
