Student instructor interaction is enhanced. The students get a better understanding of the material being taught.
I believe the major advantage is time. The F2F time is more valuable in a flipped classroom because it allows more time for questions and activities which reinforce the students learning. My experience is that during a lecture, questions come up that I may sometimes have to defer until a later time due to time constraints. In a flipped environment, we are able to focus more on reinforcement, which i find is where most of my students learning occurs.
One important advantage is the rewind button! I watch many lectures on Youtube and I am frequently replaying sections which I did not hear correctly or did not understand. Also it is great to be able to pause a learn the subject in shorter "chunks."
One certain advantage is that students are more prepared about a topic before the lecture. Our younger students are more apt to listed to a video or a pre-recorded lecture versus reading the textbook, sad but true.
The student is able to learn at their own pace and that is priceless. That way they can effectively learn the fundamentals prior to moving on and have a solid foundation of the subject matter.
Unlike Information Literacy, what constitutes BL is still being defined. Currently, one of the major obstacles to evaluating BL research is the wide range of operational definitions for the term BL. Those definitions range from a traditional face-to-face (FtF) class with some add-on online quizzes and supplemental materials offered through a learning management systems (ie: Moodle) to classes conducted almost completely online with limited FtF interaction (Graham, 2012). With the same label being applied to such divergent pedagogies, it is difficult to draw strong conclusions from any meta analysis of BL studies.
The main advantage is the opening of a new style of learning for the student.
For me in accounting, this provides students with the opportunity to form a basic understanding of the material as the hear, learn and see it through other forms of media. The classroom time we have can be better spent in probing deeper into the subject matter, and concentrate more on how this particular topic is important to their own learning.
I believe it can help overall with the learning process because it allows students to go at a pace more for them, it really affects my timing when I have to slow down for some students while others wait for them to catch up.
One advantage is being able to do more in the classroom other than just lecture. Lecture does not work for all students and most students would prefer "hands on" learning to sitting a listening.
The structure of the flipped classroom allows the student unlimited access to the pre-recorded lecture which enables the learners to replay and fully grasp the material. When in the classroom there will be more interaction with their peers which gives the students a sense of being more involved in their learning process which enhances overall student motivation and improving success rates. This also allows students to master the material at there own pace and advance when they want to move on to newer material.
yes - very helpfull for students to have the opportunity to review and replay lecture / demonstration video. this resource is most effective when paired with a homework assignment for the student to complete independently of in-class work. when the work is reviewed in peer critique the student's understanding of the assignment can be evaluated. then understanding can be improved with in-class work.
I see many benefits to the flipped classroom. I teach at a culinary school, half of the students are either career changers or adult learners. Most of them have a day job and a family to balance. So to have 24/7 access to their school work is very beneficial for that student. For they can choose when is the best time to sit down and actually absorb the information they are trying to learn. Another advantage is for the younger students, most of them are tech savvy and already are glued to their phones or tablets, so for them to use this technology is second nature for them and the preferred way for them to learn.
Advantages and benefits of a flipped classroom may include students taking more responsibility for their learning, frees classroom time for answering questions and discussions, and improved learning.
providing the students with the control of the learning pace can be extremely beneficial to various students. Students should not only be able to review the pre-recorded lectures more than once, they should be able to pause them to take notes and contemplate or reflect on the material. Students should also be able to fast forward through course content they have already mastered.
some of the advantages of the flipped classroom are engaging the students, making the student more accountable for the learning process, more social interaction between the students.
Another advantage is all the online resources one could use to improve learning outcomes. Students are more technology oriented and teaching them with what they are comfortable with may offer more successful outcomes.
That is excellent advice. Those implementing the flipped classroom should be selective in their choices as not all material is professional nor appropriate.
The advantages here include the ability of students to work on-line while at home. But a disavantage at my school involves students who do not have computers at home and are then forced to come to school which takes time from their schedule.
Students can watch prerecorded lectures as many times as they want. As a medical assisting instructor it would benefit me to put my procedures online so students can view how to do a skill before class and once in class more time to do hands on.
