Learners had the highest satisfaction scores for the instructor’s aspect (x̄ =4.81 SD=0.39), teaching methods (x̄ =4.47 SD=0.55), and teaching facilities (x̄ =4.30 SD=0.62). Overall, learners’ satisfaction of the flipped classroom showed the highest score  (x̄ =4.42 SD=0.53). The implication of using the flipped classroom recommended that  the timing of the classroom activities should be longer that included doing mind maps for 45 minutes, group sharing and discussion for one hour, and finalising concept with answering questions for 45 minutes.
