The Flipped Classroom
Definition?
Can you define what a “flipped classroom” is? Think of a definition, and then share with a peer (1’).
The Flipped Classroom:
¨ Is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed
¨ Has students watching short video lectures at home / on their smartphone, while in-‐class <me is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions
How does it work?
¨ No single model – ‘flipped classroom’ is used to describe almost any class structure that provides pre-recorded lectures followed by in-class tasks.
¨ Examples: 1) Students view multiple lectures of 5-7’ each 2) Online quizzes or activities can be used anytime 3) Repeat viewing > Ss clarify misunderstandings 4) Instructors might lead in-class discussions or turn the
classroom into a more creative atmosphere for Ss (workgroups, etc.)
Who’s doing it?
¨ Higher Education (MOOCs, many subjects) ¨ Secondary schools (biology, math, languages, etc.) ¨ Middle schools (biology, math, languages, etc.) ¨ Elementary schools (see links page) – flip a lesson!
Implications for teachers
[Discuss in groups of three or four] Questions: What are the implications for teachers who use the FC model in the classroom? How can the FC help teachers? How can the FC help teachers help Ss? What are the implications on the student side of the FC model? (related to learning) What are the pros and cons of the FC model, overall?
Implications for teaching (I)
Teacher-‐side: ¨ T’s give up tradi<onal role in favor or a more collabora<ve and coopera<ve contribu<on to the teaching process > effects?
¨ Devo<ng class <me to the applica<on of concepts might give instructors a beGer opportunity to detect errors in students’ thinking
Implications for teaching (II)
Student-‐side: ¨ Less passive, more ac<ve role: allows for greater student control over lectures and content (repeated viewing > na<ve/L2 learner)
¨ Collabora<ve projects encourage social interac<on among Ss > easier to learn from peers, and for those of varying skill levels.
¨ A shiP from covering material > mastery of it
Downsides?
¨ Teacher-side: careful preparation > effective FC (recording lectures > effort and time > additional work > new skills for instructor)
¨ Student-side: 1. Loss of face-to-face lectures > video lectures >
diminished perception in hands-on portion of FC model vs. web-surfing.
2. Ss may skip class > loss of F2F value of FC, and 3. Equipment/access might not support rapid delivery of
video 4. Information is presented in one format (online)
Why now? Why is it popular?
¨ Technology – prevalence of online video (Khan Academy, podcasts, vodcasts, etc.) and online access to it
¨ Poor learning outcomes of the traditional model results in limited engagement and severe consequences
