Summary/Abstract: The phrase flipped classroom appears more and more often in educational literature and in educational discourse. To our knowledge there is, however, no Estonian definition. We have proceeded to propose a definition and to explain the key components that make a flipped classroom. To our understanding they are: 1. A flipped classroom is not a teaching method,but rather an educational strategy. 2. The independent work of the student has to be well organized and motivating. 3. The main role of the teacher is shifted towards giving feedback. 4. The most effective use of the flipped classroom is for peer-to-peer teaching.
