  2. Authors (2012) Jonathan Bergmann has been an educator for 25 years and holds a masters degree from the University of Colorado in Instructional Technology. He currently teaches science at Woodland Park High School in Woodland Park, Colorado. In 2002 he was awarded the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence for Math and Science Teaching. He is a national board certified teacher in Adolescent and Young Adult Science. In 2009 he was named a semi-finalist for Colorado Teacher of the Year. Aaron Sams has been an educator for 12 years. He currently teaches science at Woodland Park High School in Woodland Park, Colorado where his peers consider him to be an innovator in the implementation of technology in the classroom. He has taught many staff development courses, primarily in the area of technology integration. He was awarded the 2009 Presidential Award for Excellence for Math and Science Teaching. Aaron recently served as co-chair of the Colorado State Science Standards Revision Committee. Flip your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day

  3. While often defined simplistically as “school work at home and home work at school,” Flipped Learning is an approach that allows teachers to implement a methodology, or various methodologies, in their classrooms. Association of Flipped Learning Network (2014)

  4. Flippedclassroom and Flippedlearning The terms Flipped Classroom and Flipped Learning are not interchangeable. Flipping a class can, but does not necessarily, lead to Flipped Learning. Many teachers may already flip their classes by having students read text outside of class, watch supplemental videos, or solve additional problems, but to engage in Flipped Learning, teachers must incorporate the following four pillars into their practice.

According to the Bloom’staxonomy of cognitive levels, the skills in the cognitive domain can be classifiedintosixlevels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. • In the traditionalapproach, the focus of classroomteachingis on the lower cognitive levelssuchasremembering, understanding and, to some extent, application. Asthese cognitive levels involve verylittlestudentparticipation, the learningtends to be passive. • The higher cognitive levelssuchasanalysis, synthesis and evaluation, whichlead to activelearning and develophigherorderthinking, are oftenneglected.

  11. Main characteristics of the flipped classroom (Abeysekera and Dawson 2014; Bishop and Verleger 2013; Kim et al. 2014) (2) Changes in the usage of time outside the class: The time used to do homework is moved to the class time. Different ways of self-learning, such as watching videos, are scheduled before the class time. (1) Changes in the usage of class time: Those teaching contents that were traditionally taught through direct instruction and can be understood by students themselves are provided in other forms, such as video, for students to learn outside the classroom. Besides, in-class discussion, projects, andproblem solving are included in the class to help students apply what they have learned and to cultivate their analytical and judging abilities. (3) The time outside the class time is designed for students to gain knowledge at the remembering and understanding levels. (4) Peer interaction, student–teacher interaction, and problem-solving skills are emphasized in class. Students gain knowledge at the applying, analyzing, and evaluatinglevels. (5) Technology is used, especially video. While some scholars have argued that technology is not a necessary element for self-learning before class time, undeniably, it is the easiest way to present teachers’ instruction of the learning contents. Besides, teachers can manage the video and teaching materials for students more conveniently through teaching platforms or other online systems, and have interaction with students before and after class. Therefore, technology benefits the implementation of the flipped classroom.

  12. Researchers have indicated some of the reasons why flipped learning has been adopted by so many educators (Bergmann et al. 2011; Francl 2014; Lasry et al. 2014). (1) Teachers should make good use of the multimedia technology to provide students with teaching materials and allow them to learn without time or space limitations. Students are taught to collect information before class and are expected to be active learners responsible for their own learning. (2) The teaching video allows students to review and preview to have profound prior knowledge before class, and lets those students who miss classes catch up. (3) Multimedia digital teaching materials are easy to save, manage, revise, and impart. (4) In the process of preparing a flipped classroom, educators can inspect and reflect on the whole curriculum and improve the teaching contents and activity design.

  13. Researchers have indicated some of the reasons why flipped learning has been adopted by so many educators (Bergmann et al. 2011; Francl 2014; Lasry et al. 2014). (5) With enough prior knowledge, students have more time to conduct higher level activities and questions. Educators can further provide individualized consulting, which benefits students with learning difficulties the most, and teachers would better understand the learning status of their students. (6) In-class activity and discussion can increase teacher and student as well as peer interaction. An active atmosphere can improve students’ learning motivationand, through peer pressure, the learning effects would increase. (7) More teaching strategies, such as project-based learning and problem-solving learning, can be imported into the classroom to promote higher order thinking abilities, which would be more meaningful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTLLRbceDoM

  14. Advantages of FLIP • Self-paced learning: Each student learns at his or her own pace. A traditional classroom in which the educator uses a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching cannot effectively cater to students who learn differently. However, in a flipped classroom, the availability of online videos and instructional material enables a learner to pace the learning process according to his or her learning needs. Learners have the flexibility to learn any time during the day. They can choose to pause, rewind or replay an instructional video—which they cannot do when they are in a conventional classroom. This helps students understand concepts, compile queries and take notes at their own pace. On the other hand, such a model also provides quick learners with an option to accelerate their learning process. • Multiple Ways of Learning: Since the instruction is not restricted to classroom teaching, the teacher has an option of sharing with students different types of content. A teacher may share interactive animations, simulations, informative websites and any other content which can help students understand the concepts better.

  15. Advantages of FLIP • Effective Feedback: As the students go through the instructional material and compile their queries in advance, the in-class time is used by the educator to give effective feedback. The teacher can use the extra time available to have individual interactions with students and provide extra inputs to students who find it difficult to understand the concepts. • Student-Centered Learning: The in-class time can be used by teachers to promote active and deeper learning. The teachers use different approaches such as problem solving, collaborative learning, peer instruction and carry out activities that focus on higher cognitive levels and promote critical thinking. • Effective “Homework”: As opposed to the traditional approach, in the flipped classroom model, the students solve exercises in the classroom in the presence of the teacher. This helps teachers provide timely feedback and assistance to students individually. This improves the problem solving ability of students, thereby increasing their confidence levels.

  16. Disadvantages of FLIP • Technological Barriers: In this model, the students are expected to view online lectures which in turn require them to have access to computers and the internet. The fact that large sections of student population do not have access to such resources is a big challenge in implementing this model. • Lack of Student Motivation: Student participation is critical to the success of the flipped classroom model. Unless the students go through the instructional material and video lectures in advance, the in-class time cannot be used by the teacher to provide effective feedback and carry out activities that promote higher order thinking skills. • Ineffective Design of Learning Environment: The flipped classroom model requires the educator to identify the different components of the learning environment so that students benefit from the model. The model would fail to achieve its objectives if the online lectures are not effective and the in-class activities are not well designed and planned.
