Hi! I see Flipped classroom/ Learning just as a twist in teaching/ learning history, an inverting of places for activities, a change that is now more possible due to new ICTs. It makes better use of teacher resources and it is more democratic since learners with resourceful homes and parents are not aving the same advantage as before. That Is good. Learners get help more in schools than in homes.

In my organization (NTPC School of Business), we follow flipped learning as andragogy for training employees and teaching energy management students. Feedback from the students indicates that the learning method is quite successful. It is easy for Faculties to facilities students for enhancing their problem solving skill and critical think towards management issues.

We do it through Learning Management System (LMS), developed by our IT team. In which before reaching class students are able to explore all study material of different concepts and tutorials of the topic through (LMS) accompanied by a case, even we have option to chat with faculty and peer. In second stage the students are required to discuss the case through either group discussion or brain storming or sometimes role play. Faculties are not expected to draw conclusion for a case in class. In the third stage students are expected to discuss the conclusions on the basis of class discussion at LMS case forum online considering all evidence discussed and on those basis of facts students are expected to draw particular conclusion and explanation.

Dear Dr. Shahrul Mizan Ismail

Students having accessibility on online contents is always good to have the portability on learning perspective. However flipped learning might resolve some of the points that you have mentioned but not all.

Hi,

These problems you are talking about are most critical while applying any form of learning. In my opinion, flipped learning is one of the best starting points to deal with these deficiencies. When students prepare for the class before, there is far more time for you to train with them all these skills, as you can work with their associations, arguments, and conclusions, which are less ad-hoc. You can follow their ways of thinking, doing necessary corrections during you class. But, to develop high-level thinking skills, there is a necessity to use flipped learning purposefully and for a longer time (or at least, quite often).

Hi,

I completely agree with previous comments that flipped learning sessions give students a headstart and they can do essential preparation like background reading, task completion etc. before the session. The pre-session input can certainly do no harm to students. It may even give some students the extra time and confidence that they would need to work at full capacity in class. Like Stefan Nowicki said, flipped learning is truly effective when there are meaningful tasks in class where students can apply what they already know through their preparation. Follow-up work is what makes flipped learning interesting and useful. Great for collaborative work, too.

Hi Fellow Researchers, I see Flipped Learning as another added pedagogical method for student engagement using creative technologies. However, each learning space is different and it is the instructor to decide which works best with his/ her learners. Though flipped classroom does provide enough room for an instructor to assess, guide and facilitate learners during instructional process.

Hi Shahrul,

Flipped learning is excellent when applied well but it is not problem free. You need students to prepare well by reading/interacting with the material, which does not always happen. Also, you need students to interact and engage in class which also may be an issue for cultural or other reasons. Having enough time to interact with individual students is also a problem for lecturers/teachers. So although very helpful, this method does have its problems, and indeed, is not the only teaching method to improve critical thinking, communication and creativity.

Flipped learning is very interesting and students really enjoy.Students become more interactive in the class and it is a in depth learning for them.This method is very useful for both teacher and taught .

I have used this method and results were positive.

Considero que Flipped learning si aporta como estrategia para potenciar la creatividad de los estudiantes y la responsabilidad a la hora de repasar los contenidos antes de ir a clase.

I do believe so and its effective and I have a same research on it . Please search in my questions .

thanks

Flipped learning can resolve some problems if it is done properly 1 – 3 times during a semester. In 1964 & at the age of 12 years old, I had the opportunity to practice the role of the teacher (among the top 10 pupils in the classroom) under the auspices of my well-educated Christian teacher from eastern Jordan.

Each one, of the 10 pupils, was assigned a subject to prepare at home using the textbook as well as the school's library. Each one of us was told that he will stand in front of the class to explain the subject in well-expressed language & to receive questions from the audience.

I was a shy person at that time but I was obliged to become brave and to carry out this fearless attitude, later on, in my life. The flipped class was a nice change from the monotonous sending-receiving education that schools were accustomed to.

It is important to know that the integration of technology in itself does not achieve an inverted learning strategy, so it is necessary to identify the basics or criteria on which effective inverted learning is based, including:

- Learn flexible in which the learner can learn at any time and anywhere.

- A culture of learning where it is centered around the learner and becomes the focus of the educational process.

Flipped teaching helps to resolve problems. But students should be well prepared so the session becomes interactive. Then they really enjoy it.

Does flipped classrooms create a problem before completing a problem?
