FLIP - FACILITATE - FOCUS:A SIMPLE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH TO FACILITATE SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING Tay Lee Yong Chua Yi Lin Elaine Ong Yilun Yvonne
AGENDA • Background • Reversing the instructional process • Flip - Facilitate – Focus • Sharing & Demonstration • Evidence of Impact • Proposed Improvements • Conclusion • Questions & Answers
Lesson Time: Teach At Home: Homework • Transfer knowledge • Explain concepts • Classroom management • Unmonitored time • Inability to check / learn • Lack of teacher’s facilitation 1 Teacher Knowledge Transference 40 Students Feedback 2 Periods of Mathematics lesson
Lesson Time: Teach At Home: Homework • Lesson Time: • Worksheets / activities, facilitated by teacher • Teacher can assist weaker learners At Home: Self-directed pre-learning or revision FLIP- FACILITATE - FOCUS HOW?
FLIP- FACILITATE - FOCUS At Home: Self-directed pre-learning or revision • Teacher created videos explaining solutions to problem sums • Students were instructed to go through and learn • Students can stop the video at any point or repeat certain segments of the video to focus on areas that they were not good at
Flip- Facilitate - Focus At Home: Self-directed pre-learning or revision
FLIP- FACILITATE - FOCUS In Class: Teacher-facilitated worksheets / activities
FLIP- FACILITATE - FOCUS In Class: Teacher can assist weaker learners.
EVIDENCE OF IMPACT (+) • Students reflected that they • enjoyed learning from the educational videos created by teacher, • were less “fearful” of mathematics with the focused practices and guidance in class, and • could learn at their own pace and stop the video at any point or repeat certain segments of the video to focus on areas that they were not good at
EVIDENCE OF IMPACT (-) • Both teachers and students felt unsettled and needed to adjust their habits and practices, especially during the initial period of implementation • Students were also not naturally self-directed, they needed guidance and constant reminders from the teacher to watch and learn from the videos before their lessons
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE MODEL? • Raise student’s “self-directedness” • Support teachers in this model of instruction • Teachers’ belief • Teachers’ practice • Technical support – creation of simple screen capture videos
TO CONCLUDE… • The flipped classroom concept, if done well, could bring about more effective learning of mathematics through greater students’ autonomy and ownership of learning, thereby cultivating self-directed learning • This pedagogical approach also facilitates students’ acquisition of their ICT skills
