Flipped class room technique is considered to be a learner-centred instructional model in which learning is made mainly by peer interactions. How can we implement this method in teaching mathematics at college/university level? Please share your suggestions and expertise in this matter. If possible, please share useful reference materials also.
Thanks and regards,
Sudev

Sudev,
More resources that might be helpful- all of which mention mathematics at the college/university level.

For example, Paul Golisch, dean of information technology at Paradise Valley Community College in Arizona, flips his math courses by using free online lectures and electronic textbooks.
"We have all this free material for students readily available," he says. "Why not ask them to learn the basic stuff online on their own, and then have them come to class prepared, so instructors can fill in the gaps and do more group activities?" (edtechmagazine.com) above.
Best,

Dear Sudev
I am not a teacher in the ordinary sense (UG and PG teaching is different in many ways), and I am not sure what exactly flipped teaching method is. But whatever it be, if it is to be used for school/college where Maths is only one of the subjects, it should not be a method that will give greater opportunity for the best ones to shine. Rather it should be one that will help the worst ones to suffer. Otherwise it will end up like a competition. This I think is roughly in tune with the opinion of Lewis Kausel
Narayanan
Dear Sudev
Flipped class room technique can be very beneficial particularly for the lowest 10 percent & upper ten percent. So in my opinion both best ones and worst ones can benefit. Both group will probably improve their standards.
Dear all,
A agree with what was said and is interesting the question from Brenda.
Thank you
Helena
I have not seen flipped classroom used in our school. Probably because we have large classes and it would be very hard to facilitate a large number of people in so short a time, usually 1.5 hours per meeting, twice a week.
In social sciences and general education subjects, flipped classrooms may work.
Also, in pure mathematics subject, say Abstract Algebra, I can not see how a flipped classroom will work.
