This study aims to find out how teachers implement flipped classrooms in strengthening civic literacy and revealing students’ perceptions of the learning model. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, with interview data collection techniques; observation; and documentation studies. Teachers and students in grade V elementary school were the subjects of this study.
