ABSTRACT Flipped learning model is currently implemented where conventional lectures take place before class hours, while in-class time is used for hands-on activities and problem-solving under the teacher’s guidance. However, students’ inability to fully engage and complete their learning activities before the class hours and the lack of clear instruction during in-class learning activities can greatly hinder the learning experience. Under this circumstance, a new flipped model, named guided flipped learning (GFL) model, was proposed by embedding study-summary-quiz and think-pair-share strategies into the conventional flipped learning process to overcome the current challenges. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed GFL model, a quasi-experimental study was conducted. The results showed that GFL significantly enhanced students’ engagement (behavioural, agentic, and emotional) and learning achievement. The proposed GFL model strengthens the quality of the pre-class learning activities and provides clear instruction for in-class learning activities. The results provide educational policy makers the means to effectively revise the conventional flipped model with GFL for lifelong learning.
