From what I've learned so far it is important to inform all stakeholders about the flipped classroom for it to be effective and the most important of the stakeholders are the students. I love how this method provides a way for the students to take accountability in the learning and allows the instructors to give guidance when needed.
I have tried them on small time frames in the flipped classroom. I think for the subject I teach it would be a challenge sometimes.
Learning about the specific ways to "flip" the classroom.
Pre-recording the lectures and spending more time with activities, discussions, etc during class time.
Flipped classrooms engage the students without them feeling intimidated.
Even though the Flipped classroom is a great tool and can help many students achieve their educational goals, the one thing that I have found, as I have even taught Flipped classrooms to other instructors, is the flipped classroom isn't always the best way for every student. An instructor needs to have the flexibility to pivot to accommodate the learning styles of a class. One class may do great with the flipped classroom, and yet the next class that comes through that class needs to be more in person, or hands on with the subject.
I learned what the true definition and concept of theh term: "flipped classroom". I've always been interested in other ways of learning to better reach the student or stakeholder. As a student, I had always hoped there was a more interesting way of learning content. The flipped classroom sounds like something I would be willing to try as an educator because it simply involves the stakeholders and increases student engagement. Traditional teaching or pedagogy must evolve with technology.
The new teaching strategy must be explained to students first. Students should understand the benefits of a flipped class for it to work.
The flipped classroom model is as type of blended learning that prioritizes engagement and learning in the classroom. The students complete much of the classroom material at home and bring the "homework" to the classroom. I like this concept because it gives the students opportunities to be active in their learning amongst their peers and their educator and allows for open-discussion as well as in-person practicing of the information.
A flipped classroom is another adaptation to evolving technology outside of the classroom and improves engagement in the classroom
The value of the flipped classroom in better student engagement and higher student retention.
I gotta give this a try. It would seem to be effective at keeping the students engaged in the classroom.
I am a Vocational Instructor for adult men. I have clerks or office assistants that I can utilize to facilitate lessons. I like the idea of allowing the students to present the lessons to their peers under my supervision. I believe this will certainly prompt more participation for sure.
This concept works perfectly with our current hybrid classroom model. We have implemented many of the ideas and will continue refining this system.
Was a public elementary school teacher for 17 yrs before changing careers, becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant. Circled back to teaching on this level after 14 yrs in the PT field. I say that to acknowledge variances of Flipped Classroom have been presented before, utilizing technology, and have been successful. To slide into Flipped classroom concept, recoreded lectures can happen during class, and be used as remediation or review. Other sites with relevant video can pre-set the skill before application returns in labs or classroom. The biggest issue is to not fully expect all students to handle this set-up. You should be prepared to reinforce with tutorials, etc, to those relunctant to take ownership, but continue to reiterate that they must be responsible for viewing content before coming to class. They will either rise quickly to the occasion, or fall very behind. Use the classroom time for hands-on learning, group discussions, small project presentation, cooperative learning.
Flipping the classroom is a great way to keep students involved during the instructional period. Instead of leacure, the class turns into a discussion. Much more effective for adult learning.
How will I apply it? Use the current in class practice questions, template and project construction as entry into the F2F class
Flipping the classroom has a student a teacher utilizing the F2F time to do more practical and problem solving lessons
Flipping the classrom is a great idea. Students who are not familiar or comfortable with this approach may push back.
Teaching the restaurant class can be challenging in the sense that the lab class is actually running the restaurant. This is physically and mentally challenging for student who have never worked in that environment. With that said, having a well thought out plan, homework or projects can be tied to the daily work and using technology can be very engaging. I am hoping to find additional material through these modules that will help me achieve the learning objectives. How cool would that be to find a virtual reataurant that has thought provoking challenges for a restaurant scenario.
Flipping the classroom sounds like a great idea, will teach the students to take on more responsibility for themselves but will take time to get everyone involved use to the technique.
