"The Flipped Classroom is an intentional shift of content which in turn helps move students back to the center of learning rather than the products of schooling." The Flipped Class Manifest The "Flipped Classroom" is a term that has recently taken root in education. What Does "Flip" Imply? "Flip" is a verb. What Do Classes Look Like? How Does a Flipped Classroom Fit into Instruction? Final Thoughts AuthorsBrian E.

The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture Due to Khan Academy’s popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. 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. A compiled resource page of the Flipped Classroom (with videos and links) can be found at The advantage of the flipped classroom is that the content, often the theoretical/lecture-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessed and controlled by the learner. It is important, though, not to be seduced by the messenger. The Flipped Classroom Model Experiential Engagement: The Activity Summary

Physics Education One problem with conventional teaching lies in the presentation of the material. Frequently, it comes straight out of textbooks and/or lecture notes, giving students little incentive to attend class. That the traditional presentation is nearly always delivered as a monologue in front of a passive audience compounds the problem. In order to address these misconceptions about learning, we developed a method, Peer Instruction, which involves students in their own learning during lecture and focuses their attention on underlying concepts. We have taught two different levels of introductory physics at Harvard using this strategy and have found that students make significant gains in conceptual understanding (as measured by standardized tests) as well as gaining problem-solving skills comparable to those acquired in traditionally taught classes. Peer Instruction is easy to implement in almost any subject and class.

The Flipped Learning Process Visually Explained April 2, 2015 After yesterday’s post on “Flipped Learning Resources” one of our readers emailed us this beautiful visual outlining the six main steps involved in the creation of a flipped classroom. These steps include: planning, recording, sharing, changing, grouping, and regrouping. Read the graphic for more details on each of these steps. As a refresher for those who are not yet familiar with the concept of a flipped classroom. via Daily Genius Courtesy of eLearning Infographics

The Learning Cycle: The Learning Cycle: A Comparison of Models of Strategies for Conceptual Reconstruction: A Review of the Literature Several pedagogical frameworks have been devised that center on conceptual reconstruction. Renner. Renner's analogy for this entire process is that of a guided tour where the guide, the teacher, points out all the sights to be observed and the learner is discouraged from taking any detour that, in the guide's view, is not productive. If we accept that each of us must develop the understandings we have about a concept for ourselves, then Renner suggests an alternative teaching model as more appropriate. 1) His initial concern is with pupils gaining experience and this becomes the first stage of his teaching model. 2) In the second stage, the learner is introduced to some appropriately–specific terminology in relation to the phenomenon being investigated. Karplus. 2) In the second phase of the Karplus model, the concept is introduced and explained. Driver . Erickson. Barnes.

Quand un problème devient fantastique. - Compte rendu d'une expérimentation de l'apprentissage par problèmes (APP) dans un cours de littérature Auteure : Mélanie Pagé, Professeure de français, Cégep de Sainte-Foy Toutes les enseignantes et tous les enseignants le savent : les formules pédagogiques doivent être au service des objectifs visés, jamais l’inverse. Lorsqu’une activité amène les élèves à faire efficacement des apprentissages durables qui peuvent être transférés par la suite, qu’importe si elle emprunte les caractéristiques de diverses approches ? C’est ce que j’avais en tête lorsque j’ai décidé, au cours d’une formation PERFORMA sur l’apprentissage par problèmes (APP), d’expérimenter cette méthode dans le deuxième des quatre cours de littérature de la formation générale. Certes, pour arriver à créer un « problème littéraire », il m’a fallu effectuer quelques croisements, greffer un brin de littérature à l’esprit des sciences et mélanger, entre autres, démarche scientifique et analyse littéraire. Qu'est-ce qu'un problème dans un cours de littérature ?

A Beautiful Visual On The Impact of Technology on Today's Classrooms April 28, 2015 We just came across this beautiful visual on the impact of technology on classroom learning and teaching and wanted to pass along some important stats that stood out to us. Technology is radically transforming the education landscape and the stats below speak volumes to this transformation: In a 2009 report released by the National Centre for Education Statistics with the Department of Education:74% of Pre-K to 12th grade teachers said that technology has helped them reinforce and expand content and has also motivated students to learn. 73% of these teachers also reported that technology enables them to respond to a variety of learning styles and allows them to demonstrate things that could not demonstrated otherwise. Impact of technology on student writing: A larger majority of teachers attest to the positive influence of web technologies on students writing. Impact of technology on homework Technology has also transformed the way students do their homework.

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.

L'apprentissage par problèmes, pas de problèmes ! Auteurs : Lise Ouellet et Jacques Brosseau, Cégep de Sainte-Foy Dans le dernier numéro de Pédagogie collégiale, un article de Mélanie Pagé, « Quand un problème devient fantastique. Compte rendu d’une expérimentation de l’approche par problèmes dans un cours de littérature », témoignait de l’intérêt de l’utilisation de l’apprentissage par problèmes dans l’enseignement de la littérature. La démarche adoptée par Madame Pagé s’appuie sur les éléments d’information que l’on retrouve dans le guide d’appropriation de l’apprentissage par problèmes développé par Madame Lise Ouellet, coordonnatrice du Service du développement pédagogique et institutionnel, et Monsieur Jacques Brosseau, conseiller pédagogique, tous les deux au Cégep de Sainte-Foy.

6 Resources on Flipping the Classroom There’s lots of discussion and experimentation on the topic of Flipping the Classroom. Here are 6 resources with links to other resources on the topic: Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams are award-winning teachers in Colorado who use the term, Mastery Learning to describe how they have ‘flipped’ their classrooms inside out. Instead of lecturing in class, they have created hundreds of vodcast videos which their students view for homework. Don’t use technology in the classroom, use it before and after, outside of the classtoom. A major roadblock or barrier to the implementation of this model is that many educators do not know what to do within the classroom, what to do with that “whatever they want to do” time. The Flipped Class: Myths Vs. A professional learning community for teachers using Vodcasting in the Classroom.

La classe inversée : un catalyseur de changement ! Si, comme moi, vous ressentez parfois le besoin d’améliorer et de dynamiser vos cours, vous vous demandez sûrement par où commencer. Une approche de plus en plus explorée est celle de la classe inversée. Dans cette philosophie, on déplace en dehors du cours la prise de notes pour réinvestir le temps de classe dégagé dans des activités plus profitables pédagogiquement. Comment convaincre les étudiants de se préparer au cours? Alors que j'étais sceptique au début de l'expérience, je suis maintenant certain qu'en abordant ne serait-ce qu'une heure de cours avec la philosophie de classe inversée, il est possible d'à la fois dynamiser son cours, de promouvoir l'autonomie des étudiants et de contribuer à son propre développement professionnel. Depuis le début de l’année scolaire 2012-2013, mes cours de Chimie des solutions et Chimie organique sont « inversés » à 90%. Exemple d’une vidéo réalisée avec une caméra numérique et des tableaux blancs individuels. Absolument!
