flipped classroom
I am not going to flip my classroom, but I am in agreement with alot of the methods and blooms taxonomy. Students do learn from peers and project based learning and inquiry as well as cooperativ leraning is very important. Rigor and relevance is the key to learning retention.
I agree. It does make sense in theory. I can see some applications in the courses I teach where it could show improvements.
I'm curious what is your resitance to flipping your classroom? I understand that you don't have to flip the entire curriculum.
I believe in student-centered learning, outcome-based learning, and active learning. I also believe that can happen without flipping the classroom. There are some students whose learning styles best matches a live lecture with interaction with the instructor and other students and active learning engagement with the content and not watching a short video. I do not think you can replace an excellent instructor's live lecture with a video. Keep in mind I am not talking about a 'sage on the stage' instructor delivering a live lecture, but a dynamic instructor who know how to facilitate learning during their lecture time. I just do not believe that interaction and engagement can be created in a video. Flipping a synchronous online classroom makes is a more asynchronous environment and defeats the purpose of having a live synchronous lecture. I have flipped a face-to-face classroom, only to find students did not favor the format and hindered their learning.
