Since we usually complain about a lack of resources that include the voices of Turkish students, I found this page useful in terms of pondering on what Turkish students may potentially experience with flipped classrooms. You can read their reflections/comments/opinions on a flipped social studies classroom through this link. Feel free to explore the other contents on the website as well. :)

Wow, these students, though they are 7th graders, are able to form sentences with a good amount of intellectual load. They are aware of concepts such as "eğitim devrimi; öğrenme ortamı; öğrenme deneyimi" and many more. I wonder if this is another advantage of "flipped classroom modeli" because none of the college students I teach are capable of forming sentences as elegant as these.

To be honest, their comments are surprising for me too, especially when I see that they have experienced no challenge or discomfort in terms of adapting to this new model. Plus, all those comments look like they are promoting a market product. :) Perhaps our educational system has accomplished to raise students who are highly motivated and capable of adapting to rapid changes. :)
