Abstract
The adoption of flipped classroom models in mathematics education reflects a growing shift toward student-centered, collaborative, and technology-integrated learning environments. Given the inherent complexity of mathematics learning, which demands both conceptual mastery and active engagement, flipped classrooms have been increasingly explored as viable alternatives to traditional instruction. This systematic literature review analyzed 24 empirical studies published between 2020 and 2024, selected from an initial pool of 219 Scopus-indexed articles using the Publish or Perish (v8) tool and PRISMA screening framework. Thematic synthesis revealed a marked increase in research between 2021 and 2023, particularly from Spain, Indonesia, and Austria. These studies spanned multiple educational levels and employed diverse methodologies quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and design-based approaches. The investigations covered a wide range of mathematical topics and consistently reported positive outcomes across cognitive (e.g., conceptual understanding, problem-solving), affective (e.g., motivation, engagement), metacognitive (e.g., self-regulation), and contextual (e.g., technological readiness, institutional support) domains. Nonetheless, persistent challenges such as disparities in digital access, instructional complexity, learner affective resistance, time management issues, and increased teacher workload were evident. Addressing these requires context-sensitive instructional designs, institutional support, reflective pedagogy, and psychosocial scaffolding. Overall, when systematically implemented and supported by responsive policies, flipped classrooms demonstrate transformative potential in fostering deeper, more autonomous, and equitable mathematics learning across educational settings.
