A Bibliometric Analysis of Studies on Flipped Learning in Accounting Education: The Case of Web of Science

Abstract

With digitalization, there have been some innovations in the field of accounting as in every field. However, there have also been various developments in educational methods. One of these is the Flipped Classroom method. The flipped classroom method, unlike traditional education methods, is based on the principle that the information about the course is given to the student in an electronic environment before the course. The aim of this study, which is thought to be the first study in the literature in which the studies on the Flipped Classroom Model in accounting education are examined by bibliometric analysis method, is to examine the studies in which the flipped classroom model is applied in accounting education and the results of the studies scanned in "Web Of Science (WOS)" by bibliometric analysis method. Web of Science database was used in the study. Bibliometric mapping, one of the bibliometric analysis methods, was used in the study and "VOSviewer" package software program was used. As a result, it was determined that the year in which the most articles on flipped learning in accounting were published was 2022, the country where the articles on the subject were studied the most was Spain, the vast majority of the articles published were written in English, and the journal in which the articles were published the most was Accounting Education. With the findings obtained, it is thought that the resources necessary for studies on flipped learning in accounting can be accessed more easily and effectively.
