A Flipped Classroom Approach
Educators are aware of the time limitations in the classroom and therefore focus on transferring knowledge during class time and assigning homework for independent practice. However, many agree that students would benefit from increased practice and application in the classroom. The solution? A Flipped Classroom can provide ample opportunity for such practice and application.
The Flipped Classroom model assigns students high-quality homework to better prepare them for in-class applications. This comprehensive approach incorporates readings, videos, simulations, research, and recorded lectures, all aimed toward achieving optimal learning outcomes. To fully implement a Flipped Classroom, it's crucial to provide students with learning material that promotes quality learning. Assigning a video alone won't suffice. Instead, the video should contain quality questions and tasks and be easily accessible for all students. By doing so, students can learn the material individually for homework, giving them more time in class for application, experimentation, and projects.
