The goal of practicing Flipped Education is to direct education in the classroom from teacher-centered to student-centered. The core value of this practice is to look for the essence of learning. The typical Flipped Education is to switch what used to happen in the classroom which involved teachers lecturing and students listening, to students watching teachers’ lectures at home and increase their interaction with teachers and peers through discussions in class. The broader meaning of Flipped Education is to change teachers’ teaching and students’ learning methods. The researcher works with Christ’s College Taipei promoting E-learning and the use of technology to encourage Flipped Education with the goal of providing creative teaching methods to improve teaching quality. During the promoting process, the researcher explored the difficulties the college faced, searched for solutions, clarified the meaning of Flipped Education, set up educational plans, guided and assisted teachers carrying out E-learning through the use of technology, evaluated the outcomes of promoting such education methods, and carried out this research. This is an action research aided with observation method and in-depth interview. The research is divided into three stages and follows four steps. The three stages are Preparation and Promotion, Practicing Flipped Education, and Evaluating the outcome of Flipped Education. The four steps are Planning, Acting, Observing, and Reflecting (PAOR). During the research process, the researcher located problems, sought for solutions or improved the methods used through PAOR. The researcher also observed and recorded the process of teachers who practiced Flipped Education. The researcher also conducted in-depth interviews with those teachers to understand the difficulties they faced, their reflections on their practice, and the outcomes of their practice.
