The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of flipped learning on sustainable learning in the teaching of the geology section of the science course for eighth grade female students. The current research is practical in terms of its purpose and in terms of the amount of monitoring and the degree of control of variables, it is among field researches. The research method is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with two experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the research consisted of all female eighth grade students in Nahavand city. The sampling method was purpose-based based on which 30 people were selected from the statistical population and randomly assigned to two homogenous groups of 15 people, test and control. First, the students of the experimental and control groups completed the questionnaires and then attended the training classes during six sessions. The findings of the research indicate that flipped learning method has a significant effect on sustainable learning (continuing learning, strengthening problem solving, creating creative thinking and meaningful learning) and leads to an increase in all the four scales. These results can be attributed to the process of students' activation in the teaching-learning process and increasing student-centeredness in the classroom, which is in the nature of this method. According to the results of the research, it is recommended that authorities teach the steps of the flipped learning method and review the other methods in the in-service meetings of science teachers.
