The COVID-19 pandemic makes flipped learning more relevant to address the challenges of remote learning. Therefore, renewed attention is warranted in critically appraising the implications on which flipped learning is built. Though several studies have reviewed the flipped learning research in the past, the majority has qualitatively synthesized the flipped learning literature, thus, lacking the overall perspective provided quantitatively for appraising the existing state of affairs of flipped learning research in engineering education. This study addresses this gap by objectively mapping the conceptual, intellectual, and social structure of research development in flipped learning using a bibliometric review method. Findings reveal that flipped learning in engineering education is a relatively new field of research and in recent time it has entered into the stage of exponential growth. Findings also show the effectiveness of the flipped learning model to address the challenges of complex pedagogical applications in different fields of engineering education. This study provides a quantitative synopsis of the flipped learning literature which can be used as an anchor for future study.
新冠疫情使翻转课堂对于应对远程学习挑战更为重要。因此，有必要重新关注批判性评估翻转课堂所基于的影响因素。尽管过去已有多项研究对翻转课堂进行了综述，但大多数研究只是对翻转课堂文献进行了定性综合，因此缺乏从定量角度提供的整体视角来评估工程教育中翻转课堂研究的现状。本研究通过运用文献计量学综述方法客观地描绘翻转课堂研究发展的概念、知识和社会结构，填补了这一空白。研究结果表明，工程教育中的翻转课堂是一个相对较新的研究领域，并且最近已进入指数增长阶段。研究结果还显示了翻转课堂模式在应对不同工程教育领域复杂教学应用挑战方面的有效性。本研究提供了翻转课堂文献的定量综述，可作为未来研究的基础。
