10. The Flipped Classroom

11. What is the flipped classroom?
“What is the best use of face-to face class time?”
Direct instruction is done at home via video
What has traditionally been done as homework is done face-to-face in class
A ‘flip’ of time and place of lecture and homework

12. Teaching Style Inverted
2015 Cengage Learning Computing Conference
Teaching Style Inverted
Student-centered learning
Allows items to be applied immediately as they are taught
Allows students to practice during class
Students complete assignments in class
Projects
Discussions
Debates
Determined by class material

13. The Flipped classroom
Allows students to interact with primary source content out of the classroom to develop foundational knowledge
Elevates knowledge to application-level tasks and skills practice
Increases student engagement and confidence

15. Retaining information
Students Retain:
10% of what they hear
20% of what they read
80% of what they see and do

16. Benefits of a flipped classroom
Students get help on difficult topics
Teacher-Student interaction is enhanced
It allows for differentiation
It creates an atmosphere of learning
Students can learn at their pace
It helps when students/teacher are absent
It improves relationships with students

17. Implications of Learning – Positive
Encourages participation in class
Removes the disconnected lecture component
Stimulates interaction among students and teacher
Puts more responsibility on the student to learn
Inspires a problem-solving environment
Gives students time to reflect on and apply teachings
Allows the instructor an opportunity to detect and adjust for problems as they arise

18. Implications of Learning – Negative
Requires More Preparation
Instructors must be prepared in advance
Students may prefer traditional-style lectures to “flipped” teaching style
Students need to fully understand and engage in new process in order for it to be effective
Teaching methods must be dynamic
Instructors must constantly adjust the class to fit the dynamic students entering it

19. Common Questions What if the student comes unprepared?
Who should make the videos?
How long should the videos be?
Is it expensive?
Will it increase student screen time?
What do I do with class time?
Is this going to replace the teacher?

23. The Essential Elements of a Flipped Classroom
What we did
The Essential Elements of a Flipped Classroom

24. The three Essential Elements of a flipped classroom
Off-loaded content
Student-centered learning
Appropriate assessment
Grounded in Self-Determination Theory- Autonomy, relatedness and competence are the innate needs for internal motivation

25. Off Load The Content Voice-over PowerPoints created
Students listen and view at home prior to class
Students can pause and rewind or re-watch PowerPoints as needed

26. Student Centered Learning
In class activities include
Students put into ‘squads’
Case Studies
Small group practice sessions
Presentations
Group discussions
Group worksheets

27. Appropriate Assessment
Daily quizzes (formative- check comprehension of assigned reading materials)
Peer-grading
Rubrics
Summative evaluations (quizzes, tests)
