The contemporary classroom is composed of students with different levels of readiness, varying learning paces, heterogeneous experiences, and diverse socio-emotional needs. Under these conditions, the traditional model of uniform instruction is becoming increasingly ineffective, as it is organized around a hypothetical “average student” and restricts opportunities for the meaningful participation of all learners. Within this context, the present study examines the synthetic approach of Fliperentiation, which combines the flipped classroom with differentiated instruction, and seeks to highlight its potential as a pedagogical framework for secondary education. Through a literature review and critical analysis, the study presents the theoretical foundations of this approach, its main characteristics, its potential applications in school practice, as well as the limitations that accompany its implementation. The analysis indicates that Fliperentiation can strengthen active participation, self-regulation, collaboration, and the equitable engagement of students in the learning process, provided that it is embedded in systematic pedagogical planning and supported by appropriate teacher professional development (Hirsch, 2014; Tomlinson, 2014; van Alten et al., 2019).
