3. Flipping the Classroom
Teaching and learning mathematics on
digital platforms is expanding the limits of
education and is increasing the number of
solutions that can be considered for many
mathematical problems.
4. What is Flipped Classroom
⢠Flipped Classroom
âis a pedagogical approach in which direct
instruction moves from the group learning space
to the individual learning space, and the resulting
group space is transformed into a dynamic,
interactive learning environment where the
educator guides student as they apply concepts
and engage creatively in the subject matter.â
(The Flipped Learning Network, 2014)
5. Fitting with the Revised Bloomâs
Taxonomy
In traditional learning,
lower level of learning such as
remembering and understanding is
happening in class, while students
are usually left to work on activities
that involve higher level of learning
outside of classroom. However, in
the flipped classroom model,
learning is flipped. As you can see
from the pyramid, students can
finish the lower level of cognitive
work before class. And when they
come to class, they can engage in
higher cognitive levels of learning
with peers and teacher present.

7. WHY YOU SHOULD FLIP YOUR
CLASSROOM?
⢠The concept of flipped
classroom was first
brought up by Jonathan
Bergmann and Aaron
Sams, who were both high
school chemistry teachers.
In their book: Flip your
classroom: Reach every
student in every class every
day (2012), they discussed
a couple of reasons why
teachers should consider
flipping (p.20-33):
⢠Flipping speaks the language of todayâs students.
⢠Flipping helps busy students.
⢠Flipping helps struggling students.
⢠Flipping helps students of all abilities to excel.
⢠Flipping allows students to pause and rewind
their teacher.
⢠Flipping increases student-teacher interaction.
⢠Flipping allows teachers to know their students
better.
⢠Flipping increases student-student interaction.
⢠Flipping allows for real differentiation.
⢠Flipping changes classroom management.
⢠Flipping changes the way we talk to parents.
⢠Flipping educate parents.
⢠Flipping makes your class transparent.
⢠Flipping is a great technique for absent teachers.
⢠Flipping can lead to the flipped mastery program.
8. WHY YOU SHOULD FLIP YOUR
CLASSROOM?
A sidebar in this book also cites 5 âbad reasons for flipping
your classroomâ (p.21). It is important for teachers to move beyond
these perceptions.
ď Because some guys who got a book published told you to.
ď Because you think it will create a 21st-centry classroom.
Pedagogy should always drive technology, never the other way
around.
ď Because you think you will become cutting edge.
Flipping does not necessarily use the latest technology.
ď Because you think flipping your classroom exempts you from
being a good teacher.
Teaching is much more than good content delivery.
ď Because you think it will make your job easier.
Flipping will not make your job any easier.

CLASSROOM?
Advantages
⢠Encourages students to utilize digital content to explore
knowledge beyond textbooks.
⢠Improves personalized learning and teaching methods.
⢠Give rise to student-cantered teaching.
⢠Improves visualization and understanding capacity.
⢠Smoothens student-teacher and student-student
collaboration and interaction.
⢠Enables students to learn at their own time and pace.
⢠Encourages students to think out-of-the-box ideas.
10. WHY YOU SHOULD FLIP YOUR
CLASSROOM?
Disadvantages
⢠Many argues that flipped board divides student digitally.
⢠The technology required (Computers, smart gadgets,
internet, etc.) are not accessible to many individuals.
⢠Increases the time spent by students on computer
screens.
⢠The delivery of instruction sometimes suffers technical
challenges/difficulties.
⢠The additional time spent by students at home
preparing for topics is highly debated.
⢠Threatens the traditional classroom teaching method.
11. HOW TO IMPLEMENT A FLIPPED
CLASSROOM?
Jeff Dunn (2014) has wrote a short piece on âThe
6-step guide to flipping your classroomâ, which
presented 6 easy steps for implementing flipped
classroom.
ď Plan
Figure out which lesson in particular you want
to flip. Outline the key learning outcomes and a lesson
plan.
ď Record
Instead of teaching this lesson in-person, make a
video. A screencast works. Make sure it contains all the
key elements youâd mention in the classroom.
12. HOW TO IMPLEMENT A FLIPPED
CLASSROOM?
In Bergmann and Samsâ book (2012), they also pointed out that do not
make a video just for the sake of making a video. Only do so when you feel these
are appropriate and necessary. It all depends on the educational goal of your
lesson. If making videos better facilitate your instructional goal, then go ahead.
ď Share
Send the video to your students. Make it engaging and clear. Explain that
the videoâs content will be fully discussed in class.
ď Change
Now that your students have viewed your lesson, theyâre prepared to
actually go more in-depth than ever before.
ď Group
An effective way to discuss the topic is to separate into groups where
students are given a task to perform. Write a poem, a play, make a video, etc.
ď Regroup
Get the class back together to share the individual groupâs work with
everyone. Ask questions, dive deeper than ever before.
⢠After the six steps, Review, Revise, and Repeat!
13. Some other strategies that can be used
in in-class activities include:
⢠Active learning. Allow students to apply concepts in class
where they can ask peers or instructors for feedback and
clarification.
⢠Peer instruction. Students can teach each other by explaining
concepts or working on small problems.
⢠Collaborative learning. Collaborative learning activities could
increase student engagement, enhance student
understanding, and promote collective intelligence.
⢠Problem-based learning. Class time can be spent working on
problems that can last for the duration of a semester.
⢠Discussions or debate. Give students the opportunity to
articulate their thoughts on the spot and to develop their
arguments in support of their opinions or claims.
