G3 Flipped Classroom

While traditional classrooms function with a teacher instructing during class and students completing assignments at home, the flipped classroom has students watch a video of the teacher’s instruction for homework. The following day, students come prepared to practice the lesson in class with an assignment, activity or discussion with guidance from the teacher.

Question 1

A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which aims to increase student engagement and learning by having students complete readings at their home and work on live problem-solving during class time.

What is a Flipped Classroom?

In the traditional style of instruction, teachers present a lesson to students and then assign classwork or homework. The definition of a flipped classroom is the reverse of the traditional method.

A flipped classroom consists of students completing direct instruction, such as viewing a lecture online, prior to the in-class discussion of the material. The intent is for students to see the material beforehand, also known as first-exposure learning, so they can learn the concepts at their own pace. By doing so, students are better able to focus on participating in class and receive feedback on their efforts during the lesson — not just after.

Teachers that utilize a flipped classroom model are better able to help their students engage in active learning. Students become much more involved during the lesson discussion with the flipped classroom style of instruction by engaging in debates, small group discussions, or in-depth investigations. In essence, a flipped class switches the activities traditionally done in class with those completed after class.
