Today, we were asked in SEDU 183 to discuss what flipped learning is and it's importance.nnAfter much research I discovered that flipped learning takes place outside the classroom. Learning through materials such as online videos outside the classroom, instead of learning from a teacher inside a classroom.
Flipped learning has many benefits. As referred to Flipped Classroom, flipped learning allows students to do research on a lesson before entering the classroom. Therefore, when the students enter the classroom they can interact with the teacher and do activities based on what they learned. Students have the ability to access the lesson from the Internet at anytime they want. The students are able to learn at their own speed and rewind and relearn the lesson. It is said that 85% of teachers whom have switched to flipped learning have seen improved grades in the classroom.
Flipped learning also has its drawbacks. Teachers will not be teaching directly in front of the student day after day which may cause the student to fall behind if they do not review the videos online. Not everyone learns best by online resources. The teachers will however still be there to help the student out with his/her homework. Because the information is all online for the students, students may feel as if they do not have to attend class. This may cause a problem with attendance in the classroom.
When I become a teacher I plan on using flipped learning in my classroom. Flipped learning seems like a very useful tool to use in all types of classes. I want my students to succeed and by reviewing what will be expected of them in class the day before, as a useful way to insure they will succeed. I am looking forward to using flipped learning in my classroom for many reasons. I want my students to be able to interact with their peers in an educational way and flipped learning allows more time for interaction because there will be less lecturing in the classroom. I believe flipped learning is a good way for students to succeed and I look forward to watching my students grow and develop through flipped learning.
