What is the “Flipped Learning” Method? |
|
The Flipped Learning method is the fundamental idea that students view or listen to lectures and lesson plans individually from their homes, and complete homework, projects and collaborative group work while in school.
The method is flipped from conventional teaching, where lessons and lectures are delivered in class so students can go home and complete their assignments.
According to research, Flipped Learning allows students to build off of their preliminary subject knowledge by reviewing course material from their homes.
Once in class, students work together to solve problems and answer questions based upon the self-taught materials.
