The flipped classroom

Shin, H. (2015) ‘Flipping the Flipped Classroom: The Beauty of Spontaneous and Instantaneous Close Reading’, The National Teaching & Learning Forum, 24(4), pp. 1–4. doi: 10.1002/ntlf.30027.

What are the experiences and activities we want to have our students engage in that will help them make sense of this material and have them do something interesting with it?” – Derek Bruff

Eric Mazur – learning as a 2 stage process

  1. Transfer of information (during class)
  2. Assimilation of that information by the students (outside the classroom)

A definition

  • A shift in time to that process
  • Class time spent on the assimilation process

The classic flipped classroom

  • Students encounter the info before class
  • Come to class already having exposure
  • Practice and feedback

Creating times for telling

Students first need to encounter a problem, or a challenge, or something mysterious… and then that provides motivation to hear the 15 minute [explanation].” – Derek Bruff
