Constructivist Teaching
Knowledge is socially constructed
People build “schema” to understand the world
Learning is about problem solving, reflection, metacognition, integrating knowledge into schema
Learning activities are authentic, real-world, relevant, collaborative, co-operative
Flipped Classroom
Lectures and homework are flipped around
Learners consume lecture content outside of class (video, screencast, documents)
Class time is used for participatory activities
Example: Watch video at home, in class teacher guides activities that apply concepts
Flipped Classroom
Tutor moves from “Sage on the Stage" to "Guide on the Side”
Higher learner achievement and engagement
Better attitudes toward learning
Increased teacher-learner interaction
VLE and Flipped Classroom
Asynchronous activity
Tutor’s Role: Create/Curate content on VLE
Use forums or blogs for discussions
Set reflective tasks for learners
Tutor offers feedback and guidance online
Self grading quizzes for formative assessment
Face to Face Learning Time
Synchronous activity
Active learning (meaningful tasks, problem solving, reflection, peer interaction)
Knowledge is applied / clarified
Self, peer and tutor evaluation
Flipped Classroom Critique
Access to internet/equipment
Lack of preparedness
Not suitable for all types of learner
Time/money investment in creating/curating content and learning platform
Quality of content
Conclusion
VLE used to manage content
Online tasks help learners understand before class (content and interactive activity)
Class time used for applying concepts (more tutor/learner and learner/learner interaction)
Consider the affordances, use judiciously
