Module 8 Activity 10: The Flipped Classroom Approach

The flipped classroom is considered to be an inverted classroom where instead of the traditional, a lecture is recorded and posted online for students to access and watch at home with the option to review as many times to grasp the content before the lesson is conducted.

This approach allows for improved student – teacher interaction, provides opportunities for real – time feedback, increases student engagement, enables students to pace their own learning according to their needs and alter the nature of homework by having students practice and applying their learning in the classroom. It has been observed that during the teaching and learning process, students are able to strengthen their own capacity to learn. Central to this is the principal of reflection as meta-cognition, where students are aware of, and can describe, their thinking in a way that allows them to ‘close the gap’ between what they know and what they need to learn.
