Abstract :The flipped classroom is an active and interactive education method that helps instructors to promote a significant change in the teaching and learning process, inverting activities, and transform the traditional teaching and learning styles. The application of the flipped classroom style is not simple and involves the instructor\'s commitment and consistency to facilitate the student self-regulation of activities to promote learning, especially in such difficult subjects as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. However, with the nowadays development of the Artificial Intelligent (AI), a lot of possibilities to engage students into the learning process arise. The objective proposed in the current work is to discuss positive and negative aspects of the flipped modulus style and use of the AI in the flipped style method on the example of the first year Calculus course. To assess the results varied methodologies have been applied. We use cross-institutional qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as discourse analysis to achieve our goals. The results were satisfactory. It appears that in average the student’s scores in the Flipped Classroom environment are by 5% higher than the ones in the traditional classroom. Moreover, for some of the topics, the different is 14.5% in favour of the Flipped Classroom style.
