Reimagining Flipped Learning via Bloom’s Taxonomy and Student–Teacher–GenAI Interactions

This paper explores how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies, such as ChatGPT 4o and other AI-based conversational models, can be applied to flipped learning pedagogy to achieve enhanced learning outcomes for students. By applying Bloom’s taxonomy to intentionally align educational objectives to the key phases of flipped learning, our study proposes a model for assigning learning activities to pre-class, in-class, and post-class contexts that can be enhanced by the integration of GenAI. In the pre-class phase, GenAI tools can facilitate personalised content delivery, enabling students to grasp fundamental concepts at their own pace. During class, the interactions between students, teacher, and GenAI encourage collaborative learning and real-time feedback. Post-class activities utilise GenAI to reinforce knowledge, provide instant feedback, and support continuous learning through summarisation and content generation. Furthermore, our model articulates the synergies between the three key actors: interactions between students and teachers, learning support provided by GenAI to students, and use of GenAI by teachers to enhance their teaching strategies. These human–AI interactions fundamentally reshape the flipped learning experience, making it more adaptive, engaging, and supportive of the development of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity.
