Description

The article defines the flipped classroom as a model in which "students study instructional materials before class, typically online lectures, and apply what they learned in in-class activities". It is generally understood through blended learning, and its essential point is that "active learning activities are expanded", with in-class reciprocal actions distinguishing it from traditional teacher-centered lecture models. Instructors take on roles as curricular designers, instructors, and media developers.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Students must engage with pre-class video or audio instructional materials, and in-class time must feature interactive student-centered activities, per the article's inclusion criteria for studies of the approach.

Constraints

• Implementation barriers the article names include instructor hesitancy to adopt new approaches and students' diverse learning needs; effectiveness depends in large part on whether students actually use the available pre-class time effectively.

Target Learners

• higher education students

Learning Goals

• cognitive, affective, and interpersonal educational outcomes
