Abstract
This study examines the usefulness of the Flipped Classroom (FC) model in Turkish Music Theory courses. The data obtained through observation and focus group interviews during and after the twelve-week teaching period were subjected to content analysis and interpreted as themes and categories. The aim was to determine how suitable the FC model is for the teaching of Turkish Music Theory, and how and in what way it affects success and learning. The advantages of the flipped classroom model were identified as easy access, practice in class and materials in this study. The findings of the research reveal that students can easily have access, without time-space constraints, to the preparation videos and materials prepared by the instructors, which is seen as the strongest aspect of the FC model. However, during this process, it was found that some students had a lack of self-control, some had problems with focusing, and some had problems with student-teacher or student-computer interaction. The study concluded that the use of the FC model in Turkish Music Theory course is largely preferred and effective.
