Popis: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of 59 first-year university students on flipped learning systems over the course of one semester. The students carried out three separate sessions of flipped methodology classes, utilising a variety of online tools for teaching and communicating with each other. Results indicated that while the students had very little prior knowledge and experience in a flipped classroom, they were generally positive in their initial perception of the learning strategy. Furthermore, the students fully embraced the entire process albeit with some apprehension regarding their peer's motivation and efficiency in conducting the flipped sessions. A pre-sessional survey was conducted at the start of the semester as well as post-sessional surveys after each flipped session to gauge any particular changes in the students' perceptions throughout the study. The overall findings showed positive reception from the students regarding flipped classrooms with notable mentions of improved confidence and the development of active learning approaches.
