Does flipped learning work?
What is it?
Lectures preview content outside of class
In class is used for active learning
practice
small group work
case studies
People disagree on it's effectiveness
Supporters
encourages student/professor interactions
K-12 and higher ed settings are not comparable
Skeptics
More time spent on passive learning
Too much variability in implementation
More active learning equaled worse educational outcomes
Uneven results of flipped learning affect all levels (k-12 and higher) of education
My thoughts:
The fact that more time gets spent on passive learning is disappointing, but not surprising given how entrenched we are in the "lecture" method of instruction.
Too much variability is the piece that hits home for me. It is the main reason I haven't jumped on this trend yet. There are WIDE differences in implementation and so it is hard to know how successful this method of instruction truly is. You have to ask, is flipped instruction effective, or only particular types of flipped instruction? and if the latter, what types?
Higher ed and K-12 are very different "beasts" especially when it comes to student motivation and general practice at learning. I think lumping them in together in the review is likely a mistake.
an improved method?
reviewers promote a "fail, flip, fix, and feed" method
Fail - challenge students with a problem they haven't learned yet
My thoughts:
I think this piece is critical. If you are going to do a flipped classroom something to drive motivation will be needed!
Flip - students will dig into flipped content looking for the solution to their failure
Fix - classroom time can be spent fixing misconceptions/working on activities
Feed - instructors assess students and provide feedback
