How Flipped Learning is Turning Classrooms Upside Down

May 20, 2019 by Annie

The traditional classroom hasn’t changed much over the last 50 years. Students are still falling asleep in class, with glassy eyes and ever-shortening attention spans. Teachers are still spending their days feeling unheard and leaving with more and more papers to grade.

Enter flipped learning. 71% of teachers who have incorporated this type of learning into their classroom environment noticed an improvement in grades and 80% saw a positive change in their students’ attitudes.

Intrigued? 

Students Are in Control

In a traditional method of teaching, the instructor sets the speed and direction of the course. While this is at pace with the guidelines of the school curriculum, it often leaves kids behind in its wake.

It seems self-explanatory, but not all kids learn the same way at the same time. Flipped learning gives students the opportunity to learn at a pace they set for themselves without the pressure of keeping up with the kids around them. It also gives them the ability to learn wherever they’re most productive, whether that be home, the library, or the local Starbucks.

When absorbing the information being taught, they can write down questions as needed, rewind the lesson to listen again, or pause if they need extra time to think. Not only this, but they can thoroughly review the materials and utilize class time to talk with their teacher about each subject and question they had.

Deep Dive

Since most learning will be on the student’s own time, this frees up the classroom and the teacher to engage in facilitated discussions. This is a great time to dig deeper into each subject, addressing the questions had by each student.

Without the rush of covering each topic in the allotted amount of time while also attempting to avoid confusion, each student will be met right where they are in the learning process. This creates a classroom trust where each party involved has to do their part for learning to be successful.

Involved Parents

Goodbye, awkward parent-teacher conferences. Hello informed parents.

This style of learning allows parents and family members to be an active participant in their child’s learning. They will be able to see, first hand, what is being taught and the progress being made.

This helps ease their mind, knowing that, at any point, they can see the quality of education their child is receiving. It will also lead to more involved parents who WANT to be a part of the education process.

Frees up the Teacher

Too many times a teacher is overwhelmed by the amount of content to be covered in a short amount of time. This takes away from the quality of education their students are receiving.

Flipped learning frees up time for the teacher to work one-on-one with students to give them the extra care and attention they deserve. Teachers will also be able to utilize materials like a lesson plan template that maps out the curriculum, knowing that so much of the learning will be done at home.

It will also build a trusting relationship between student and teacher, creating a foundation for deeper learning.

No Child Left Behind

Students will never have to worry about another sick day again! Too many times a student would have a sick day and instantly fall behind in the curriculum. With flipped learning, students are able to learn wherever they are, even if it’s at home in bed.

This takes the pressure of both student and teacher to quickly catch up upon a return to the classroom. Kids will be able to stay on top of learning and teachers will be able to get back to teaching.

Flipped Learning, Flipped Perspective

A flipped learning method inspires teachers to engage in a different style of teaching while putting the learning in the hands of the students. This prepares kids for the learning they’ll encounter the rest of their lives and gives them the power to be successful.

When learning is at stake, it’s important to know how people work best and are most productive. Learn more about ways to stay engaged in learning and increase success.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
