A Study on the Applicable Methods of Flipped Classroom for Cross-Border Education

Abstract

Together with the advance of globalization, the internationalization of higher education is becoming more and more diverse. Cross-border, broad-based higher education associations is more complex than that of high school and university within the same country and poses more challenges in terms of quality assurance. On the other hand, with the recent development of ICT, Flipped Classroom, a form of education that utilizes e-learning, has been attracting attention in higher education in many countries, including Japan. Based on the results of a questionnaire survey to Japanese and Chinese university students and an analysis of case studies of pre-entrance education initiatives using e-learning, this paper discusses the possibilities and challenges for applicable methods to flipped classroom of pre-entrance education as an attempt to facilitate cross-border educational associations.
