Flipped classroom

FLIPPED OR SCRAMBLEDWhat is a flipped classroom and is it all that’s it’s cracked up to be?

Dr Erica Smith - Chemistry

Why change the lecture ?“Lectures represent a conception of education in which teachers who know give knowledge to students who do not and are therefore supposed to have nothing worth contributing” . (Bligh, 2000)

According to Armstrong (2012) lecturing is not, “the most effective method for promoting student thought, changing attitudes, or teaching behaviourial skills”.

Why are people questioning the lecture format?

Flipped

Students watch pre- recorded video before class.Either post questions to discussion forum or come to class with questions.

Lecture time is used to work through questions or activities and this allows lecturer to circulate and assist students.

Use a virtual classroom session to give external students the same opportunity.

Scrambled

Flip student/lecturer role for ten minutes
