Flipped learning (FL) approaches have students use technology to access the lecture and other instructional resources outside the classroom in order to engage them in active learning during in-class time. Scholars and educators have reported a variety of outcomes of a flipped approach to instruction. This article addresses the definition of FL based on learning theories. The proper FL approach has been suggested to develop ICT skills of HNUE students. Keyword: blended-learning, b-learning, flipped learning, ICT skills, learning theory 1. Introduction Model of the flipped classroom or flipped learning (FL) is a one type of Blendedlearning (B-learning) has drawn attention recently [2],[7]. In the learning modality, the lesson materials were delivered to the learner to study before coming to the class. By that way, the time for active learning of learners at class increases because the teacher does not need to talk much about the lecture. For that reason, the skills of communication, independent studying etc. of learners are enhanced [4]. By studying 62 papers in the technical fields related to the FL model in the period of 2000 - 2015, Aliye et al. come to the conclusion that the flexible learning environment was created with the features of learner as critical thinking, long life skills and active skills. Learners are more active in learning in comparision with the traditional modality [1]. The application of FL modality has been applied variously to different kinds of education as general education, higher education and vocational education. Many subjects and fields included the information technology and communication (ICT), STEM (Science -Technology - Engineering - Math) have .
