Flipped Learning
This concept of flipped learning is not a method I buy into at all. If the students are learning and teaching themselves at home, what need is there for a teacher?? Yeah, they can lead them through homework at school, but if the students are teaching themselves, it is likely they can do their homework on their own as well.
I am all for students being pro-active in their learning and taking responsibility for it but the teacher's job is to enhance and further that process and if you use the flipped teaching method I'm afraid the entire face of education would look differently. There's got to be some student/teacher interaction!!

Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI see your issue with Flipped Learning and the students not learning directly from the teacher. However, since classroom time is limited, and there are so many students with varying levels of comprehension in each classroom , I can see where Flipped Learning could play a important role. Instead of a teacher explaining basic principles to a class, she could have the students learn about them before class (at home, etc.) and then during class time, she could expound on them and answer questions. This could possibly allow the teacher to have time to help everyone more thoroughly understand the subject. Just some thoughts. . .
