Flipped teaching reverses, or “flips”, traditional in-class lectures and homework. Students watch the teacher’s prerecorded lecture at home, and in-class time is used for students to test their skills, apply their knowledge, and interact through hands-on projects, discussions, and exercises.
Traditional lectures such as the one below can be sleep-inducing or worse:
Boring Economics teacher from Ferris Bueller’s Day OffThe idea behind flipped teaching is straightforward:
- Students watch video recordings of lectures in their place of choice in their own time.
- The time in class is now available for hands-on work and face-to-face interaction with teachers and peers.
The rationale is simple too:
- Speech is a bad medium for communicating information – so watch lectures and videos at home.
- Speech is a good medium for dialogue – so do hands-on work and face-to-face interaction with teacher/peers at school and speaker/peers at a conference.
