Though all classrooms are different, there are four critical elements that successful flipped classrooms have in common, according to a new report developed by the Flipped Learning Network, George Mason University, and Pearson's Center for Educator Effectiveness.

 

The report, "A Review of Flipped Learning," is designed to guide teachers and administrators through the concepts of flipped classrooms and provide definitions and examples of flipped learning in action.

Kim Flintoff's insight:

Watch this free presentation, given by Mary Fanelli Ayala, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU), to learn how they achieved the ambitious goal of deploying campus-wide capture technology in less than 12 months.

This presentation outlines how ENMU went from pilot to full-scale deployment—with the support of faculty—of the most ground-breaking technological and academic initiatives in higher education, including:

Facilitating a flipped instruction pilot
Faculty are exploring the idea of pre-recording lectures so students can watch them prior to class, leaving class time dedicated to dynamic discussions and interactions
Creating hybrid classes
Classrooms and online students interact simultaneously via live webcasts
Branching out into asynchronous distance learning
Helping high school students earn college credits
Allow high school students to take college classes, either on campus or online, to earn high school and college credit
Recording special events and guest speakers, providing professional development online, connecting alumni and more

From preschool to graduate school, if you are a classroom educator the term “flip” teaching has crossed, or is about to cross your path. Formally defined in the literature by Lage, Platt and Treglia (2000) as the “Inverted Classroom”, the catalyst for initial research was a need, particularly at the university level, to address a detrimental mismatch observed between instructor pedagogy and student learning style.

Lecture-free college model blazes path

 

All classes will follow a learning lab approach. Like a science laboratory class, students will engage, experiment, discover, apply and evaluate. Every class will have a problem, issue or project to solve and the semester will be spent learning not only solutions, but will also explore what the most effective processes are to discover solutions.

 

Between flipped and lecture-free classes loaded with technological enhancements, today’s students have new options for identifying learning styles they can build upon to successfully earn their degrees and have better skills to compete in the global marketplace immediately upon graduation. This is something Benedictine University at Mesa feels is essential for teaching the next generation of college students.

Flipped Instruction or No Instruction?

Flipped Instruction or No Instruction? | Active learning Approaches | Scoop.it

Another premise of the flipped classroom model is that in order for students to interact with content in class, they must watch a videotaped lecture on that content before class (courtesy of their teacher or a virtual teacher like Salman Khan). In short, students watch the lecture at home, then work in class the following day on what would have been their homework. Hence the term flipped instruction.

 

But what if students don't need any instruction? What if they could learn from an activity by simply engaging in that activity? What if lectures are unnecessary, as I asserted at a recent workshop for new teachers?

Shifting responsibility for learning basic course content onto the student, alters the instructor’s role to that of setting the stage, not being on it.

 

In the end, the benefits of the flipped approach are considerable. Students take more responsibility for their own learning. Working in class along with a master of the discipline (you), they learn to think more critically, communicate more effectively, and have a greater appreciation for the unique importance and logic of the subject. And they experience at least some of the satisfaction of learning how to think in a new and, in some cases, life-changing way.

Flipped Classroom 2.0: Competency Learning With Videos

Flipped Classroom 2.0: Competency Learning With Videos | Active learning Approaches | Scoop.it

The two teachers admit when they started flipping their classrooms they put everything into video form. Now, they’ve taken a step back and realized some things shouldn’t be in lecture form, and therefore shouldn’t be videos either. Instead, the two teachers have embraced what they call mastery learning, with an emphasis on students taking control of their own learning. Instructional videos are an optional part of a bigger move towards asynchronous learning.

Many academics are already turning teaching on its head to keep up with rising student expectations and knowledge competition from the web. Developments include:

• Flipped classroom – a form of blended learning that sees pupils completing course material ahead of lessons to free up time with their teachers and apply the knowledge they have just learned

• Flipped academic – the academic who informs first and publishes later, using teaching time and community engagement to feed into research

Should You Flip Your Classroom?

On this note, I would like to share a personal story that I feel provides a metaphor for why the flipped classroom is a technique that works well for me. On May 25th of this year I underwent a fairly complicated open-heart surgery to correct an aneurysm of my thoracic aorta that was found randomly at a routine check up. The surgery went well, and five months later, minus a long scar down the center of my chest, I rarely think of the physical struggle that was the summer of 2011.

 

Throughout the process, I was very impressed with the confidence and knowledge my thoracic surgeon embodied. Then one day, it hit me: My surgeon had a teacher! He learned to how to perform my surgery in school! An instructor taught him how to do something, something very, very important, in a very effective way! As a teacher myself, I have a hunch my surgeon didn't learn how to repair my aorta by passively taking in information through a textbook or lecture. Rather, I'm certain his confidence and skill was cultivated through hours of inquiry, trial and error, with strong mentors by his side the whole way. In short, I'm sure he learned by doing, not observing.

We must strive to be facilitators, mentors and guides for our students, as if what we are preparing them for, much like my surgeon, will one day change lives. Any teaching methodology that amplifies this role is a step in the right direction.

 

Are you using various elements of flipped instruction in your practice? If so, how are you using it to foster student inquiry?
