Abstract: Flipped Classroom as pedagogical model is a new trend in teaching and learning that is applied when teaching STEM subjects at undergraduate level. This pedagogy involves, studying at home the theory and practicing in the classroom. Therefore, increased in-class practical hours can be achieved. This paper introduces the proposed Flipped Classroom based course design methodology for programming courses and presents a pilot study that made use of the methodology when teaching advanced programming concepts such as sorting and search algorithms as part of a programming module at National College of Ireland. Students perception towards Flipped Classroom pedagogy was instigated in ...
