- Flipped classroom (FC) is a type of blended asynchronous learning
- FC is the reverse of traditional lecture-centered teaching. Content or lecture is delivered digitally first and then homework or discussion and hands-on application is done in the classroom face-to-face (F2F), student-centered vs teacher-centered learning, hence "flipped"
- It is a proven effective pedagogical strategy developed over time
- Pre-recorded lecture content may be from other sources other than teacher (i.e other learning platforms such as Khan Academy, TED, etc) delivered online through various learning management systems (LMS)
- Must educate and introduce this methodology or style of teaching first to get all "stakeholders buy-in"
- FC could initially meet with resistance due to false perceptions of teachers not doing "their job" which is false
- It takes preparation and learning is enhanced because the student must take ownership of his/her learning process
- Teacher changes roles as facilitator or "coach on the side" versus lecturer
I recently used the flipped classroom for my class. I was hesitant at first to flipped the classroom because I am a traditional learner. But because I have a multigenerational students, most of them benefits from this new learning enviroment. I noticed that the students have higher class engagement especially during their disussion. And I agree, I am less pressured on time and on energy as a teacher, and it is student-centered learning.
I was glad to see that the student's perception of the flipped class was addressed. Many times they want to be passive learners and not be actively engaged. Not to mention they do resist change.
The flipped classroom; a different teaching method that is more student centered and relies more on the students doing the work with guidance from the instructor than the instructor just talking at the student. Requires more student engagement to be most effective.
I learned that a key component of "Flipping the Classroom" is to "Repurpose" in-class time into an experimental, inquiry-based learning environment.
I have been flipping my classroom for a while now. I am currently in the process of recording all lectures and having all of my own slides for students to pre-view so that I can incorporate more activities of reinforcing what they had learned from their preassigned homework "reviewing the pre-recorded lectures and reviewing the slides prior to class".
some students feel that they pay the teacher to teac them
Larning is a two way road
Student learn more by engaging in the learning process as they are responsible for the task.
With the current geration of students I feelo like thed flipped classroom would fit right in. The students can review the material as many times as they like. The students will have to become more disciplined as far as thier study habits as they will have to make the time to study and learn the material. The flipped classroom may also expose them to time management when they are learning the material.
Not a fan of flipped classroom.
Hello, I havebeen recording and posting lectures long before I found out about flippinag a class room. The students today are very diverse in culture and age. My lecture needs back-up sormetime. Everyone does not learn the same.
I understand and appreciate the fundamentals of Flipping the Classroom, especially the part about how it empowers and gives students a greater responsibility for their learning. With a "guide by your side" philosophy, the guide serves as a mentor, confidant, and secondary resource to supplement the student's learning, based on the flipped perspective of instructional delivery.
As you explain the concept to perhaps the most important stakeholder, the students, you begin to train your students to accept the new environment. They learn how to use the pre-recorded lectures effectively to learn on their own. You may even want to watch the first pre-recorded lecture in class with your students to coach the students to eliminate distractions and use the pause and rewind button as needed.
The flipped classroom format allows more hands on time and engagement to dive deeper with each subject during the actual instruction time with the teacher. The students do all of there reading of chapters online which In my opinio allows for more time to teach refined techiques and how to apply their new skills more efficiently. I have taught for over 27 years and often felt just going over reading the book when they can do that on their own and therefore I can translate it in a practical way they can assimilate better. yay
if your positive about it they will be too
I feel it gives the instructor options and holds the students more accountable.
It is important to involve the stakeholders (the students) and have them understand the benefits to them as students. A bit different than the ordinary type classroom, this flipped classroom becomes more student focused and can enhance their learning experience while putting more focus on them taking charge of their education. I intend to get them fully on board and have them become interactive through all resources so that they can solidify the things they are learning.
This is a phenomenal concept given the move towards online education. It puts the responsibility if learning into the hands of students. That type of accountability is very different from traditional teaching - in that teachers were the primary source of information, and students could blame teachers for a lack of education. It had been proven time and again, that the traditional forms of learning is not always nest for all students. By adding the accountability to students, they will work towards their own goals, and open the classroom itself for hand on and project based learning. Spot on.
I understand the concepts from taking previous online college courses in the past. While I loved it, it was much more of a challenge than going to in person classes. I do have to admit i am a bit challenged yet willing to have an open mind that vocational students have the discipline, mindset and responsibility to take charge of their learning. Both college students and vocational students are different types of learners.
