Flipped learning: research report

Flipped learning involves the use of digital technology, such as video, to provide direct instruction on new concepts outside of the classroom. Students come to lessons already having a preliminary understanding of the topic, freeing up class time for the teacher to focus on other beneficial learning activities. Nine case-study schools across England and Scotland piloted a flipped learning approach for around 4-6 weeks during 2014-2015. Each case study visit involved lesson observations, teacher interviews, student focus groups and teacher and student questionnaires with both a class using flipped learning and a comparison class. Roadblocks and Opportunities: The Flipped Classroom Is Emerging in Medical Ed. Across higher education, traditional approaches to teaching are being revisited and revised to meet the expectations of today’s students.

Roadblocks and Opportunities: The Flipped Classroom Is Emerging in Medical Ed

In some disciplines these alternative options are widespread and common while in others, they are still largely ignored. The medical education space is in the latter group, but opinions are slowly changing. Leading that charge is Dr. Charles Prober, who is pioneering a set of entry-level medical education courses that use the “flipped classroom” pedagogical approach, which makes standard lecture material available online and reserves classroom time for more in-depth, discussion-based learning.

Often thought of as an instructional method whereby students watch online instructional videos at home and come to class prepared to do “homework,” Flipped Learning has come a long way since its origins in 2007. The concept has since evolved to include myriad instructional methods that take the basic concept and go further in method to turn traditional higher educational learning models on their heads.

While Bergmann still sees the original “view video at home, do homework in class” model as a good starting point for new Flipped Learning adopters, he says educators are helping students interact with those videos and gain understanding from them. Here’s how three different professors have used Flipped Learning to achieve that goal: Flipping the Classroom. Printable Version “Flipping the classroom” has become something of a buzzword in the last several years, driven in part by high profile publications in The New York Times (Fitzpatrick, 2012); The Chronicle of Higher Education (Berrett, 2012); and Science (Mazur, 2009); In essence, “flipping the classroom” means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates.

Bloom's Taxonomy (Revised)In terms of Bloom’s revised taxonomy (2001), this means that students are doing the lower levels of cognitive work (gaining knowledge and comprehension) outside of class, and focusing on the higher forms of cognitive work (application, analysis, synthesis, and/or evaluation) in class, where they have the support of their peers and instructor. What is it? | Does it work? What is it? Flipping continuing professional development. Flipped classrooms are turning education upside-down: students watch videos in their own time, then come together in a curated discussion to interact and learn together with their teacher.

Flipping continuing professional development

But what about flipped learning for professional development? Flipped learning, blended learning, mixed-mode instruction. The terms change, but the concept stays the same. Learners study material at their own pace, typically through watching videos, and then benefit from an interactive group session. Tutors spend time doing what they do best: working with individuals, guiding discussions, creating hands-on activities, and less time presenting. Edsurge. UDL and The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture. In response to all of the attention given to the flipped classroom, I proposed The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture and The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture for Higher Education in which the viewing of videos (often discussed on the primary focus of the flipped classroom) becomes a part of a larger cycle of learning based on an experiential cycle of learning.

Universal Design for Learning has also been in the news lately as a new report Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Initiatives on the Move was released by the National Center on UDL, May, 2012. This post describes the principles of Universal Design for Learning and how they naturally occur when a full cycle of learning, including ideas related to the flipped classroom, are used within the instructional process. Will the University of Adelaide's lecture phase-out be a flop? The University of Adelaide is planning to completely phase out lectures.

Will the University of Adelaide's lecture phase-out be a flop?

In their place will be online materials and small group face-to-face sessions. According to University of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor Warren Bebbington, the lecture is dead – and it is not coming back. Lectures have been around for hundreds of years. They have survived other technological revolutions, including the printing press and the motion picture. Adelaide will be the first university in Australia to break with tradition and eliminate them entirely. SIOP Methods: Teaching Strategies for the Flipped Classroom. Mairin R Lifelong Learning.

The popularity of the “flipped classroom” model has paralleled both the proliferation of personal digital devices and the movement toward more personalized learning experiences tailored for the diverse needs of students. In principle, the model is straightforward. ‘I’m Sick of Everyone Else Owning Education’: Rachel Iufer on Creating and Sharing Teacher Resources. When teachers share their lesson plans and content with colleagues on their campus, it saves time and energy. When teachers share their content on the internet, that assistance gets multiplied a hundredfold. Just talk to Rachel Iufer--one of our 2014 Digital Innovation in Learning Awards “Sharing is Caring” winners, and the the winner of our “Winners’ Choice: Teacher” award, voted upon by all 17 winners of the DILAs. Iufer is an expert when it comes to “sharing” with other teachers.

The pedagogy of flipped instruction in Oman. Columbia University Provost funds 16 'hybrid learning' experimental courses. Next year, some Columbia professors will be able to know what their students do and don’t understand—before they even report to class. At least, that’s what Vice Provost for Online Education Soulaymane Kachani hopes 16 recently funded “hybrid learning” courses—which combine technology with “flipped classroom” models—will accomplish. “We can assess, for instance, in some of the courses, the right length of video that will have maximum impact for a specific course or discipline,” Kachani said.

By identifying “parts of the video where students keep rewinding and rewatching,” he said, professors can work to clarify and potentially adjust their courses mid-semester to account for student feedback. The courses—seven undergraduate and nine graduate—will be available starting in the spring semester, the Office of the Provost announced Thursday morning. “This year’s selected projects cover a broad range of disciplines and topics, from history to economics to biomedical engineering.
