“…Even though Bergmann and Sams firstly introduced the FC at the K-12 level [12], our finding shows that most of the studies conducting the FC at higher education level (91% at the undergraduate level and 3% at the graduate level [50] ). Conversely, only two papers ( [23] and [51]) show the implementation at the K-12 level, more specifically for high school students (see Fig. 4).…”

“…Several works with this implementation mode presented their evaluation of the repetitive FC adoption in several semesters or academic years. For example, [36], [39], and [51]. • Mixed implementation: This form of implementation shows us the combination of the FC with another approach in several meetings.…”

The emerging trend technologies imply the increase in the new role of the future of jobs. Most of them required Computer Science-related skills a lot, especially programming. However, there is a skill gap for it. Some previous studies showed that many students feel difficulties in learning programming. In the last decades, there are many approaches to improve student’s learning achievement through active learning methods. One of those approaches is the Flipped Classroom (FC) method. This study presents a systematic literature review of the FC approach in the programming course. The aim of this study is to explore the strategy of FC implementation in the programming class. A total of 32 papers from ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore Digital Library are selected for this review. We found four types of implementation of FC in programming, with the variations of the in-class or out-class activities.

“…It has been shown that one way to encourage more girls to chose STEM majors is by offering courses to high school girls to provide a context in which they can increase their self-esteem and selfconfidence about their STEM skills. Previous studies have shown successful experiences in the development of short programming courses for high school girls based on Java [8], and Ruby programming languages [7]. Another study proposed a prototype of a virtual reality (VR) system to teach the basics of programming that was evaluated with students of different ages [10].…”

There is a gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and this is a global problem that affects society. However, it is worth pointing out that the gap is not uniform in all STEM fields. Women's underrepresentation is more marked in physics, engineering, and computer science fields. Nowadays, the labor market is becoming more competitive, technology-based and demands a diverse workforce. Therefore, it is important to continue promoting the participation of women in STEM, and the universities play a leading role in it. Previous research has shown that early learning experiences in STEM can show female students that they can succeed in this fields. This paper describes a model for developing programming courses for pre-university students to promote the participation of young women in STEM programs. The course was developed in one week, 25 students (16 girls and 9 boys) participated. The instructors of the course were four female professors. The programming language was Python, and the methodology used case-based learning. Both instructors and students gave positive comments on their experience in the course. The proposed model, including instruments, learning resources, and methodology, can be replicated and adapted to be used even in other learning fields.
