There is no 1 definition of flipped classroom. In this instructional strategy, the students take responsibility for their learning while the instructor serves as a facilitator for student learning.
As times are changing, this is a great tool for students to learn and adapt to the lessons being taught. Somethings students can learn through "flipped classroom" is accountability for their education.
Love the content will definitely use in class.
I think the idea of the flipped classroom is great. I tried to pre-record lectures for our nursing students, but I found that they just were not taking the time to view the content which is frustrating, if the goal is to then have them apply what they should have done as homework prior. If you can get the buy in from students though, this would allow for more time in the classroom to allow for student engagement and activities which ultimately benefits them more for checking understanding of key concepts. I think it sometimes just takes time and also requires making the content pre-recorded engaging and maybe in bite-sized amounts that wouldn't feel so overwhelming for them.
I plan to apply these ideas by shifting more toward the "guide on the side" role, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. Using flipped strategies will also allow me to better differentiate instruction and meet diverse learning needs.
This is a new concept for me, definitely will have to try it this semester.
I have been using the flipped classroom for the past few years. I love it! The students come to class with a base knowledge of the subject and then I can help them take it to the next level through class discussions and hands on projects.
I learned how to address issues with resistance to the concept.
Never heard of the flipped classroom - will have to try it!
I run a lab blended program, so the original flipped classroom as it were. Good idea for online didactics.
This module really opened my eyes to how much more engaging and effective a flipped classroom can be. Instead of spending class time lecturing while students passively take notes, the flipped model encourages students to explore the material on their own time and come to class ready to dive deeper. I love that it gives students more ownership of their learning and frees up class time for collaboration, discussion, and real hands-on work.
I plan to start small—maybe with one unit—to see how my students respond. I’ll create short videos or assign readings for them to review at home, then use our class time to do activities that apply the content. I’m excited about the potential for students to feel more confident, prepared, and involved.
This feels like a more human and respectful way to teach—acknowledging that every student learns at a different pace and giving them space to engage more meaningfully.
I deal with the resistance from students about flipped classroom for a while. I am learning how to incorporate the best of 2 worlds together for better learning outcomes.
I think the most useful thing is that if students come prepared, then class time can be used to help with individual misunderstandings. It's not feasible to address each and every student's concern in a typical setting, but is possible and desired in a flipped classroom.
I have heard of flipped classrooms before and known other instructors who have attempted this method. The biggest challenge I have seen, which is mentioned here, is that students are resistant to taking the responsibility for their own learning. I hope that I can implement a flipped classroom in a way that helps the students to see the benefits and feel fully supported.
Implementing a flipped classroom takes the burden off of the instructor and makes students more accountable for their own education and learning. They are more active in the learning process.
Flipped classrooms promote active learning, where students engage with content outside of class and come prepared to collaborate in deeper ways during in-class activities. This helps with better retention and understanding. This model gives students more control over the pace at which they learn. They can revisit recorded lectures or readings as needed, which caters to different learning speeds and styles.
A flipped classroom is when the student has been given more accountability for their learning path. It places the bulk of the responsibility for the learners eduction with the students. It also gives the ability to for the educator to provide more engaging hands on training answer question, and have discussions about the lesson in class. The plus side the student has the ability to utilize there online tools for watching videos & reading to reinforce what they may not have retain during traditional lectures. Changing from the traditional way the classroom is set up can cause the learner to be anxious and not be comfortable with the flipped classroom method for fear of not being able to grasp the ability to take the responsibility for their own learning path.
I’ve learned that flipping the classroom is more student led and educator facilitated
