5. Didactic background & research (1) 5 Typically a flipped
classroom consists of 3 main elements: The teacher responds to
questions that students still have after doing the homework.
Students do concrete problem solving and decision making
activities. Leverage the power of students teaching each other. The
main in-class elements in the classroom are engaging activities.
Using assistive technology to allow students to respond and give
feedback instruction sessions. maximizes available time with the
instructor and focus on the higher order thinkingskills. Compare to
a traditional setting in which students need time for note taking
and repeating information. An online setting changes students
participation patterns. In face to face situations there are
usually a few that dominate the discussion, while in an online
setting all peers contribute more equally to the discussion.
(Zheng-Warschawer, p. 80) Dynamics shift from a teacher dominant
discussion to one in which student-student interaction is improved
as they become constructors of knowledge. (Zheng-Warschawer, p.
85)
6. Didactic background & research (2) 6 Once students are
familiar with the online setting, discussions between peers without
the instructor's intervention-: can be just as complex and
evolving, as multiple aspects are discussed as in depth, and can
involve the same sustained attention to the discussion as in a
face-to-face situation can. (Park et.al., p.326-327) The teacher as
an E-moderator: Teaching presence seems to be a significant
determinate of student satisfaction. The instructor has a role as
an expert answering questions, but also being present and
responding to contributions. Even comments by that dont seem to add
value, will still show students that you are there
monitoring/guiding the discussion. (Salmon, ch.4)
