As a student, I experienced Flipped classrooms during my second year at the university and I loved it! (Belgium) We had to watch videos made by our teacher who was explaining the functions and VBA on Excel every week for the next week. Then, in class, we had to solve exercices given by the teacher who was helping us if needed. 1) I have always had issues to focus in class when teachers explains things in class at his rhythm. I was very passive. With this method, I was listening the videos at 1.5 speed, and pausing or re-listening some parts when needed. 2) It felt good to be able to ask your question about an exercice directly to the teacher and being able to move forward once this question was solved. 3) I was never more focused during class than that year, it was amazing ! I got 17,5/20 without studying for the exam, because I could remember all I learned during the year! 3) I don't agree with people who say it takes too much time to the teacher to record the lecture. And if you really want to try it, you could just film a real lecture given during the year to use it the next year, or record the video of the lecture the same day in the evening so you won't need to prepare it twice. It's just a transition and it's worth it! 5) I don't really see where the student could be lost because they can still ask their questions about the theory during the flipping classes. Dujardin, best teacher ever!

I'm in two college courses like this, and it's trash. It more than doubled my at home workload, making it near impossible to do anything but schoolwork if I want to keep up with the class. We have homework due based on the reading/viewing, but there is no professor interactivity. The work in the class is rushed through, and impractical to have the teacher address every student. One of my classes is a 400 student lecture, and all we do is fill out a worksheet while the professor talks at us about it. This style may be applicable when you have all day with a student, but in a college atmosphere it introduces more headache than help. At least, this has been my experience. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I don't learn well this way. I pay good money to go to a school that allows me to show up, sit in a classroom and have an expert explain the concepts to me. That's how I learn best. I purposely do not attend an online school because I don't learn well self-studying or teaching myself information. In these instances, I get through the information, I complete the assignment, but I walk away with very little retention of the topic. I think there needs to be a balance. It can not be the entire basis of the classroom to operate this way.

wow, I didn't know this had a name... I didn't even know anyone else was doing this or even proposed this type of model... this is exactly the model I've come up with for modern teaching which I dream to implement one day when I can afford to start my own school... kudos! It's great to know that this is already getting some momentum!! :D

I did a hybrid history class in college that was like this... I enjoyed it. However, my favorite class in college was one that took this flipped model to the next level. Almost everything was online- the book, but also interactive materials. The class was chemistry, so the online software had models of molecules, word problems to solve, etc. So basically we learned the material online. When we went to class, the professor did quizzes with clickers to gauge retention and take attendance, answered any and all questions students had, and spent the rest of the time going over problems, so class time was dedicated to what a book couldn't do. Our tests were done with clickers as well. It was SO much better, because it was easy to see my own deficits, and also where the whole class was struggling.

I'm LOVING the illustrations.

In my algebra class last year, our classroom was flipped as it was during a middle school elective block and only 35-40 minutes per day. Because we did not have much class time, our teacher had us watch a 15 minute video each night and take notes, then work on problems related to that video in class where the teacher could directly help us with those problems. For this class, flipping the classroom was a very good idea. It is also already used in many English classes as we will read the book at home then discuss the reading during class.

This type of teaching methods really helps second language student. So many Slang or phrase and different convention of expression appears on the important knowledge.

I see the benefits, but my question is what are we supposed to do if students aren't watching the videos at home or can't because they don't have a computer or internet?

This reminds me of Acton Academy, which has schools all over the world. There is a “guide” not a teacher in the “studio” (not classroom), and each student is responsible for his/her learning. The Socratic method is followed beyond 6-8 years old.

I am currently a course assistant for this style of teaching in an Intro class at my University; sadly a majority of the class are freshman, so they are still extremely used to the public education system and style of teaching. We put the class into groups or what we call "tribes" and basically ask that they read before class and also do 2 worksheets each week so that when we get to class on our 2nd meeting day, they can do group work and possibly have time for discussion within the entire class. Some students are able to catch on and will do what's expected of them beforehand, but many students come to class not knowing anything in advance. I think this style of teaching will work if many more classrooms and teachers/professors begin doing this within their classes.

My teacher shared this video with the class and told us we'd be trying it out for a term. I am SOOO excited to learn like this as I believe it would be a more stimulating learning process that suits me better! (Although of course it's not going to work for everyone)

I prefer a class environment because I can ask questions and get help immediately rather than waiting till I see the teacher, meanwhile I’m still confused.

I agree flipped classroom does work very well when doing English,Maths, and Afrikaans subject. I have my own resources made as well a having a video for each lesson. This helps to see if the learners understand the work.

Suggestion for teachers, take the at-home flipped part to the next level. Watching a video, or reading a book at home may not be enough engagement for the learner, videos and books are passive learning by themselves. There is the 3 C's of eLearning: eLearning Interactivity happens when the eLearning module contains challenge, choice, and consequences. People learn best by doing, such as simulation. There is a way to make the content interactive for the home part of the assignment. The answer is to design interactive eLearning content using Articulate Storyline. Storyline will allow the learner to answer questions, experience branching, test their knowledge with quizzes. Content can be chunked, embedded video simulations can have hotspot buttons in real time with pause capability built-in, audio narration to support graphics and text, add reference material, and links for more info. SCORM and 508 compliant. Use good design and publish once/use many times. Update as needed.

This is a dream classroom for so many students and teachers. I feel like it is a blend between traditional and personal learning models. Where I teach would benefit greatly from this model. Thank you for this awesome video Sprouts Learning!

I am flipping my classroom to some degree. The only drawback is that some students do not have access to the technology or they have time limits on the tech time which they'd rather use for social media and video games. Patience while students adjust to this new methodology and direct communication with parents and students has helped a great deal. I like to load a KZfaq video presented by an expert on the topic and provide a google doc for each student to use for note taking on Google Classroom. The opportunity to expose students to articulate experts in the field and the ability for them to pause and repeat part of instruction is beneficial. Give it a try, and don't give up too soon.

I teach adults but have taught grades 11 and 12 in high school. I think the point of this video is that the days of a teacher broadcasting from the front of the classroom for hours are gone. If a teacher is providing direction for 100% of the time then the student will go into the workplace expecting someone to spoon feed them. Its better for the teacher to frame up the lesson, pose a question to each group and set them free to find their own answers. When these students enter the workforce they are able to solve problems and think critically. Youth of today will hold future positions that we cant even describe today. An employee who works in cloud computing or internet law of today didn't learn it back in high school 25 years ago because those jobs didn't exist. Teaching critical thinking skills is paramount. Instead of being the sage on the stage be a guide on the side.

We're currently using a model similar to this to connect as a church and with the community during the pandemic. So far, I like it. I wonder how well it will port to the post-pandemic time.

Very true; all the schoolwork ends up being homework and it's hard to practice or learn in a subject when the period is over just like that, and students had to listen most of the time. At the end of the day, understanding the work as the teacher gives it to you and practicing your knowledge over something, just ends up both matters being ruined, along with the noisy interruptions of the class. It all seems squeezed together. Students barely have any time to themselves after school because the work-load keeps some students busy to even the weekends. At the end of the day, it might've even been better for students to have stayed home in the first place, like in the lockdown since you could barely get our head around each task, and in the lockdown, it was much easier to work at your own time and still have time for your day and sunshine, once you got into it. maybe the people giving out the work don't realize what's happening. It drains students' encouragement to work, as well because so much unnecessary pressure is put on the kids. This Flip classroom would be great. It would lift a lot of learning issues, (That could've anyway been some easy things to solve) and improve a child's ability to learn and motivation to use those teachings in preparation for their future so much more.

I'm loving everything from the video, to the content to the calm and clear way he delivers the content!

So a flipped class is basically about setting a video with the explanation as homework to discuss it/practise next morning? Did we really need a name for that?

This method is good to apply. The weakness is for students who cannot study independently and students who are not cared for by their families

I do this for one short topic and the complaints are horrendous. Students, who are used to being spoon-fed, struggle to cope with independent learning. They immediately assume that they should complain, and try to get it reversed back to normal teaching. Even good students struggle to discipline themselves to just go over the videos. Many come in with a thousand unverifiable electronic versions of 'the dog ate my homework' explaining why they are not up to date. Others have noted here that home circumstances play a massive role in making this a success. It works really well for some kids, but for others it is a very barren period, that has to be sorted out later with extra normal lessons. Best in small amounts really!

I'll be introducing my first flip lesson in January (2019) to highschool chemistry students. I am excited as I am always willing to try something new and in the best interest of the kids.

im seeing a lot of comments on here and i am gaining insight, BUT i will say i believe this method does work for secondary. Especially now during covid.

I've tried flipped classrooms. In some groups it has worked brilliantly. However, you cannot do it with all students. There are students who don't really care about learning, being the traditional or new ways. Different from flipped classrooms, I sometimes ask outgoing responsible students to prepare the next lesson and then teach their classmates. They enjoy that!

Question to the author: I usually understand that we need to move away from the traditional system of education, but please explain to me where to start using the method of Flipped Class in an ordinary village school, share ideas and tips.

Very inspiring! How do you do it for a class of 50+ students? By the way I'm a teacher from a public school in the Philippines.

This flipped classroom is really benefiting us as students, as now we are able to study by ourselves

Have done flipped classroom for all of my math courses pretty helpful because you learn it yourself

Love the concept

As with any model comparison, start from the students particular needs and take and integrate the optimal parts of each model. Not black and white model comparison, see the models on a spectrum of differences!

It is usually only the highly motivated or parent driven students that complete their homework fully. The dynamic of the classroom would not change significantly under this model. If anything, struggling students would fall further behind.

This way of teaching makes much more sense, wish this was used when I was back in school

A very good model! However, in some developing countries where the technological tools are not readily available to teachers and students, it may not be/is not very realistic and practical.

This video was provided to us to explain how us nursing students will be studying under the flipped model classroom model this term. As a motivated student who is normally quite confident in contributing in the classroom, this sounds like an interesting way to learn. Here's hoping I don't fall behind though..!

I'm jn a "flipped" class and hate it it was okay when classes started cause. it was review material. however now it is not. it is all new and it's not really something you can learn by just studying. but by drawing out. after we read, we are expected to complete the homework and if we do not. we are not allowed in class. so theoretically if we get it all wrong out system puts in a zero that registers as not being complete. he has kicked several students out for that. After we all fail our homework cause we have no help, he goes over the material and what sucks is we HAVE to do well on homework the overall grade counts as an exam grade.

This is amazing in every way

What happen if the student simply don't want to study the material at home?

this is good because some youtubers are 10000x better teachers than most lecturers even in college. Khan Academy, structurefree, patrickJMT etc. Just make the database of lectures more complete. Also, you can rewind the video if you missed something AND you can ask online in real time without having to raise your hands as some student are scared to look stupid if they ask questions in class.

Isn't this the way life-long learning will occur in the future. Students of all ages should adapt to this more flexible style.

Love it!

very nice way to change students

It looks good but is it practicable in every situation? It does not favour those in countries where power and data are not easily accessible. How can I apply it in large class situation.

They use this crap at my school and I hate it so much that I am going to start a rebellion against it.

How long-term knowledge is if you practice this method of learning a foreign language?

Thank You.

I had heard about this teaching approach being used in a district in California where the families tended to be affluent and parents were involved with their children. I can imagine that trying such an approach could be difficult or impossible if it was tried in a school or district where the parents were low income, where parents were not engaged with their children, or where the students did not have access to the Internet, computers, or other resources. Or what about a mixed social environment where 1/2 of the children are from enriched homes and 1/2 are from poor and lower income families with less educated and motivated parents? Can you provide any published studies on this?

my teacher decided to use flipped classroom for our programming classes this semester, I have to say it did not help with the teaching at all, it made everything more difficult, the workload was enormous at home, really begs the question why bother going to school at all when I'm doing all the work at home, and then I have to spend extra time in school, this method sounds good on paper, but not so much in practice

It would be great if the school provide all the study materials (online lectures, handouts, textbooks etc), but if not, it would be a nightmare. Students might feel lost because they have to self-study without knowing what they should be studying and where to find the resource.

i would totally prefer learning like this but our educators in India are very traditional. They don't want innovation, they are obstinate about their old teaching methods being perfect. I hope I am able to change this somehow when I grow up.

Of course I use flipping. Most beneficial for every student, because adequate time is given to understand.

My students just do like to study before class. College students are very busy. I do not expect to have time to study at home.

Hello, are there any English teachers out there or English students out there that have a great experience with flipped classrooms? Could you please explain to me the process used and why you enjoyed it? I would like some examples of best practices before I dive in.

as a student, i really hope teachers would use this teaching model. because i feel oftenly teachers haven't enough time to give attention to student because they need to finish their lesson first. and because we still haven't really understand their lesson we need to go to another courses after school which is really tiring. so i hope this flipped classroom model will make teachers more help us to understand more and study effectively.

I think that if these method is use apropietly it would work. The concept is interesting , but some teachers may take advantage of this and wont do any work, but only give youtube videos to students and give some tests.

So kids now have to spend so much more time for studying at home than being kids... sounds great for lazy parents.

I don’t even know how to ge in this is it a website or app?

I don't know how it would feel in real life , I'd love to try this

How can a teacher combine this method with a traditional classroom more effectivelly if some students have no computers at home?

Thank you sir

i love this!

Excelente modelo!

Wish me luck, I just watched this video and I don't understand a frack about this, and today I'm taking this type of class

Mache ich teilweise schon so! Ein Mix aus beiden Methoden empfiehlt sich!

My teacher has applied this methods but the most problem homework (from this method and other subject) make student more lazy and only focus on that things more than the subject they study. I think if not all teacher colaborate their teaching model or minimum know other teacher teaching their student with what method and adapted to thats every pedagpgy on learning look very hard to be effective.

This is not beneficial to me personally. I'm currently in nursing school and the faculty provide broad PowerPoints and then give exams based on being able to apply the information to practice, even though none of it was explained to the class. Maybe this works in like a math class but it definitely doesn't work in medical professions.

I don't "lecture" for long enough to make this worthwhile.

its just a regular classroom but the homework goes before the class i know i teacher who misunderstood what a flipped classroom is and was just lazy to teach anything

why do these people assume everyone has a computer and access to the internet, do they not know what poor means?

I think one problem with the flipped model is that it takes little effort to implement a bad, detrimental version. A beneficial version requires a significant amount of upfront time investment; time that many college professors do not want to spend or simply do not have in the first place. I was an in-class TA for an introductory physics course for non-majors that tried the flipped method (only 25 students, but an accelerated summer course). The video lectures were not easy to follow, the textbook was only a viable method of learning if you were motivated enough to reread the same paragraph several times, and many students had the same questions after watching the lecture videos. The end result was that the professor had to re-give the lectures in class just so that people understood the material enough to start working on the in-class labs. As long as the flipped method of teaching is presented as easy to implement, teachers will implement it in a low effort way, and students will not benefit from this new teaching method that will, to them, appear just plain worse.

yes it is excelent for student and for teacher because is easiest tool to learn from your home

just nailed the real issues!!

As a student, my fall term math class MH105 was flipped. But the teacher didn’t really help us much at all. My entire group struggled and I ended up dropping the class so that my GPA wouldn’t be affected. Overall I had an awful experience with my first flipped class. Hopefully my next one will be better. Also not everyone has the same availability so learning at home might not fit into the schedule where as doing homework could happen on the bus or during a lunch break. And students get lazy and just want to relax when they get home, personally I’d rather have the notes done than the homework so if I’m only doing homework in class and I’m too busy to do notes I’ll be playing catch up and then ultimately I will fail.

I have to do flipped class tomrw on ECOSOC . I’m really nervous . I have to do it in front of the whole class

Good idea that I will attempt in new year. Just an observation - more diversity in drawings would be welcome.

I got this flip clasroom in one of my courses, and I find it a disadvantage since I noticed that some of my classmates are just waiting for my other classmates to submit their homeworks online by uploading it, copying it, tweaking it and uploading it again as their own. It kinda sucks when that happens. I feel hesitant to upload my homework early since I'm aware that my hardwork will just be copied quickly like that. Then in class it gets a bit boring sad to say... either the progress gets slow or the instructor subconsciously tells students side stories too far from the actual topic. For now, I give it a try... hope this works for better...

I don't like the flipped classroom because it makes the lesson homework... If I'm going to have lessons as homework I might as well be homeschooled.

The concept is good but I think it is not new. The teachers always told us to read the reference book before coming to class. How is this different? Just replace books with video, probably not a good idea.

Help me understand Educators: Is this not the same as "Asynchronous Learning ? Hybrid learning? Or both? Are we taking education to "on-line" and meeting less in classrooms, until we meet no more? Will education soon resort to Correspondence Courses? And, after Covid, Where's the choice in it all. It's clear that "Flip?" is not for all, so, what are your thoughts? I'm curious, not complaining, just uncertain.

Videos is just one way to start flip a classroom. Observations, questions and critical thinking also work great and are less work than creating a video

I would love to learn in this manner 🤑

which program did you use to do this vídeo?

A lot of people we're criticizing the effectiveness of this method but it's odd that this is what we're doing now during this pandemic season.

How about for families with no internet access?

Teacher should stimulate curiosity on the subject first and then should ask appropriate questions to be answered. Final target must emphasize the importance and use of that knowledge. Knowledge without productivity is drudgery and discouraging.

thank you man! :)

it is a really good method but how should we do it in virtual and online classes... i mean its hard to communicate and ask question in online classes

How is such a video designed please

This is a great model for current remote learning due to COVID. There is concern from parents and teachers that students cannot possibly sit and be lectured to all day. In a flipped model, I am giving my students the morning (10:00-12:00) to do independent learning that I have either generated or found online. I supply a small task, like an exit card or Microsoft Form to fill in, that students have to do to show they were present in the morning. Then in the afternoon, I do 1 or 2 targeted lessons that are focused on the independent work from the morning. The lessons are mostly discussions, answering student questions, and preparing/introducing projects for those subjects.

As a special education teacher and now with the challenge of social distancing, I would like to implement this model.

I've just managed [with phone support] to enroll in a tertiary Japanese course [class for one semester] via the student portal. I've visual, cognitive, ADD-type memory disabilities- that make looking at a screen difficult. I use a large screen at a distance at home for better vision. The problem with this video is the fast animation. It distracts attention away from the information that is given - like unwanted ads flashing at the side of the screen. From what I could hear, 'flipped' education is my natural tendency or curiousity for independent study. However, we can go in so many tangents when given free range on the internet. We may even be lead astray on sites that have mistakes, or a focus that isn't the best method. For example, as I wish to use Japanese to say what I wish, I may use a free English to Japanese translation site. It may bring too many complicated, incorrect, or versions of the language that are not commonly used in everyday Japanese conversation. However, today's university course in the classroom systematically introduces important grammatical points and practice drills that are key to developing speech - without too much thought of every grammatical rule at once, but incrementally. KZfaq also has a variety of presenters, with a different emphasis on what they feel is important to learn. Some audio used can be difficult with sometimes only only one person's voice pitch or accent being difficult or different to what may be easier for a student. Certainly, communication with other students on what is done in class - and outside of class is of tremendous value, as long as we also go through things in class. A good tutor will be able to encourage us away from bad habits, and bring us back to what we will ultimately be examined about.

It sounds nice but is completely unrealistic to go fully flipped classroom. The amount of homework students will be expected to do will exponentially increase. Equality ignoring the fact that not all have internet access let alone that is fast and reliable. The same kids that have the caring helpful parents that value education are going to be ensuring the kids are going over the required materials for learning. While the students that come from harsher homes that place little value on education or will engage with their kids learning will fall further behind as they will constantly come into class clueless and then be expected to apply those concepts. A balance between the 2 is much better so yes teaching key concepts in the class the online digital notes that cover all the learning that was done in class for students reference and revision (the entire point of homework). Then a focus in the class on do practical engaging mini projects and assessments that apply the learning with a real world context. These mini assignments will be digital that students can work on in and out of class. The progress and results of these mini projects will be tracked and used to target students that are struggling with concepts. In class at the end of each mini project there would be feedback to help student make links with the concepts that they struggled with. I am a high School ICT teacher and this balance works best, I work in a lower decile (lower income) school that is all boys.

Great way....!!!

does anyone have notes to share for this bc I really don't wanna do them by myself 😭

I am a teacher and I uses it but didn't know it was flipped learning, I send them topics videos for the next class but I think I need to improve more I'm classroom discussion. Thank you💓

I love this concept, however I cannot see schools who don't have a lot of funding wouldn't likely put this into effect. they already overfill the classroom and have a curriculum. I suppose if it were a private school where parents paid to have their kids go there then they could look at implementing it
