The document discusses the concept of the flipped classroom, a blended learning model where students learn content at home through video lectures and engage in practical applications during class time. Its primary goal is to enhance student learning by promoting an active, learner-centered classroom environment. The document outlines the four pillars of this model, its advantages and disadvantages, along with the crucial role of professional educators.

2. INTRODUCTION
A flipped classroom is a type of blended
learning where students are introduced to
content at home and practice working
through it at school. This is the reverse of the
more common practice of introducing new
content at school, then assigning homework and
projects to completed by the students
independently at home.

3. Flipped classroom
Pedagogical model in which the
typical lecture and homework
elements of a course are
reversed.
Short video lectures are viewed
by students at home before the
class session, while in-class
time is devoted to exercises,
projects, or discussions.

4. AIM OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM
• The main goal of a flipped classroom
is to enhance student learning and
achievement by reversing the
traditional model of a classroom,
focusing class time on student
understanding rather than on lecture.

6. • i) Flexible Environment: In flipped classroom,
teachers need to create flexible learning
environment by providing opportunities for
students to choose when and where they want to
learn.
• Ii) Learning Culture: In flipped model, class time
is shifting to discuss more in-depth about each
topic. More over, flipped classroom changes the
traditional learning culture into learner
centered class. As a result, students are actively
involved in knowledge construction.

7. • iii. Intentional Content: Flipped learning requires
intentional content. Means, in flipped model, the
teachers determine what they need to teach and
what materials students should handle on their own.
Here, teachers use intentional content to maximize
class time in order to adopt learner- centered,
activity-oriented class.
• iv. Professional Educator: The role of a professional
educator is even more important in a flipped
classroom than in traditional one. The flipped model
needs instructors who can observe, provide timely
feedback, continuously assess work, and help
students master content. This is something only
professional educators can do.
