FLIPPING THE

CLASSROOMBasic concepts and ingredients

Why Flipping the Classroom?

Why?

• Supports different learning styles

Students watch videos, clips, read materials or search for information at home

Why?

• Supports Bloom’s Taxonomy

Students are doing lower level cognitive work at home (gaining knowledge, learning basic facts, and summarizing) and there is more time in class for evaluation of ideas, analysis, comparison and contrast, creation of products.

Why?

• Supports research on learning

“By providing an opportunity for students to use their new factual knowledge while they have access to immediate feedback from peers and the instructor, the flipped classroom helps students learn to correct misconceptions and organize their new knowledge such that it is more accessible for future”

(Cynthia Brame, SFT Assistant Director, Vanderbilt University)
