The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture

Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved.

It makes sense to have students listen to lecture materials on their own as homework (at their own pace, rewinding and re-listening as needed) and then reinforce the concept during class with hands-on activities.

Before Reading or Watching Videos, Students Should Experiment First

By David Plotnikoff A new study from the Stanford Graduate School of Education flips upside down the notion that students learn best by first independently reading texts or watching online videos before coming to class to engage in hands-on projects. Studying a particular lesson, the Stanford researchers showed that when the order was reversed, students’ performances improved substantially. While the study has broad implications about how best to employ interactive learning technologies, it also focuses specifically on the teaching of neuroscience and underscores the effectiveness of a new interactive tabletop learning environment, called BrainExplorer, which was developed by Stanford GSE researchers to enhance neuroscience instruction. The findings were featured in the April-June issue of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies.

Streaming Media Products and Solutions. From the Diary of a Flipped Classroom Newbie. Like any teacher passionate about his or her subject, I LOVE working problems in physics with my students.

During my first year of teaching, class time was spent largely on concepts and examples. But only on the rare occasion did time permit ample student practice--a critical component for student success. If students make a mistake consistently, correction does not come easily without instant feedback. If questions arise while doing the work, too much time will pass before they can ask. But I quickly realized--if we were to shift basic concepts and introductory examples to outside of class, we could be discussing problems and allow for more practice time in class. So, after making a mid-year test on electrostatics for my AP Physics class, I decided from there on out that the rest of my class’s lessons were going to be flipped.

Class time is devoted to solving equations, conducting lab experiments and working on group research projects. Van Oudenhove said he likes that much of the basic instruction for chemistry class happens outside of the classroom. “If we spent all class listening to lectures and taking down notes, we wouldn’t be able to do this,” he said, in an interview last week, gesturing towards a table where his lab partners were busy creating a reaction with baking soda and acetic acid.
