In analyzing the qualitative data, a thematic analysis was carried out within the scope of the themes determined by the research question framework of the study - which is, how the Flipped Classroom approach can engage students in deep learning despite being in a large class. Among the themes explored were students looking for meaning in their learning, interacting actively and relating new and previous knowledge despite being in a large class. Within the Flipped
Classroom Approach between cycle 1 and 2, data from the students were reviewed to investigate if the guided exploration by the students improved deep learning.
