ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an application model of the "Flipped classroom" approach in the undergraduate course "Inclusive Education". The course is for students from the Bachelor's programme "Mathematics and Informatics" of the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Sofia University, who are trained for teachers of mathematics, informatics and information technologies following a new national curriculum. The paper reviews the current educational trends leading to the need of "Inclusive Education". It takes into account the constraints of the traditional lecture approach and the duration limits set in the curriculum. The paper proposes a solution to these problems by applying the flipped classroom approach. A specific model that includes active use of e-learning environment is presented as the focus is on the application of inclusive education knowledge in mathematics, informatics and information technologies. The advantages of this model application are also shown.
