In this series of blogs I will discuss how to teach using the flipped classroom pedagogy, and why this method works well based on my own experience.
What is flipped teaching? In a conventional math or science class, students learn the material in class (classroom), and review/practice harder problems at home (homework). In the flipped classroom, the tasks for classroom and homework are reversed: Students learn the materials at home and before class (homework) and they do more advanced learning in class (classroom). Why do I like flipped teaching? - Students are accountable for learning at least the fundamental material. - Students come to class with sufficient preparation to learn at a higher level. - Spending class time on learning activities such as group discussion. What are the possible challenges for instructors flipping for the first time? - The mindset, the pedagogy and the expectations. - Preparing the pre-class material for homework time. - Designing the active learning experience for classroom time. - Creating effective grading and assessment strategies.
