Abstract

The recent technology development puts and inspires the flipped education in all education settings. For the flipped education, teachers usually prerecord teaching materials and post them online for students to learn anytime and anywhere so that teaching activities in classes can focus on student-centered collaboration and interaction. The flipped education is approved to effectively merge the traditional homework with class teaching for better quality with interaction and collaboration. This article first discusses the method of science mapping analysis and its main algorithms, taking the Citespace software as an example to give the best fitted result. Then, the literatures from 1991 to 2017 in the Web of Science are presented and discussed. At the same time, national or institutional research trends and frontiers are analyzed on the basis of collaborative network and timeline. Furthermore, this article discusses the research contents in detail through the literature co-citation analysis. From the two dimensions of centrality and citation times, the 11 clusters generated by the software are then integrated into two categories. Major findings of this study include: (1) regardless of the volume of publications or the impact of journals, the United States continues to lead the research frontiers of flipped education in world, followed by Australia, China, and Taiwan; (2) in the previous research, most scholars focus on the differences between flipped education and traditional education, and declared that the students who learn in the flipped classroom are significantly better than in the traditional classrooms; and (3) in the current research, researchers begin to further study which features of flipped education can significantly improve academic performance, focusing on the differences in students' academic performance comparing different methods of flipped education.
