Flipped Classroom: Challenges and Opportunities for the 21 st Century Students

Abstract

The flipped class room inverts traditional teaching methods, delivering instructions outside of class and moving "homework" into the classroom. A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning, where content is delivered online outside of class, students view lessons at home and master the materials at school in collaboration with their peers or instructors. Lectures are shared outside of the class for individual review at home and class work time is reserved for class discussion and interactive projects. By shifting passive lectures materials to an at home settings, students can review those materials in the time and place that works best for their needs. They can also access all the fundamental information’s in advance, so when they enter the classroom, they feel prepared and ready to participate in interactive learning activities.
