Despite being widely adopted in higher education to support student-centred learning, the pedagogical design of flipped classrooms has been criticised as lacking in theoretical framing. This study proposes that the pedagogical dimensions of personalisation, higher-order thinking, self-direction, and collaboration can be used as theoretical lenses…

This article explores strategies, targets, and responses to young people's attempts to influence pedagogic practices, and the variations between different programmes in a deregulated upper secondary school system.
