Flipped learning involves students gaining initial exposure to new material outside of class, usually by watching video lectures, reading, or completing other assignments. This allows class time to be used for exploring topics in more depth and applying concepts through activities like problem-solving. The teacher plans lessons around questions from students to focus on challenging areas, and students work through problems and discuss with each other in class with guidance from the teacher. Common misconceptions about flipped learning are that it reduces the teacher's importance, students won't watch videos at home, not all students have internet access, and teachers don't have the ability to create required video content.

1. Flipped Learning:
Change the Process to Transform
the Learning

2. The “flip” is much more than doing
classwork at home and homework at
college.

3. Students prepare for class by watching
video, listening to podcasts, reading
articles, or contemplating questions
that access their prior knowledge.

4. Students are asked to reflect upon
what they have learned and
organize questions and areas of
confusion .

5. Teach by Questions
 Students post questions
 Teachers create lesson plans
based on student questions

6. The tutor sorts through the questions
prior to class, organizes them, and
develops class material and scenarios
that address the various areas of
confusion. The instructor does not
prepare to teach material that the
class already understands.

7. In class, questions and problems are
posed.

8. Students think,

9. respond,

10. provide feedback,

11. and discuss with peers.

12. The instructor listens, prompts, and
helps students address
misconceptions.

13. This process is
repeated over and
over again
—all term long.
Think Socrates!

14. Misconceptions

15. Flip Misconception #1
Implementing the Flipped Learning
method makes me, as the teacher,
much less important.

16. Flip Misconception # 2
Kids do not want to sit at home
watching boring video lectures on the
web. This is just a lot of excitement over
bad pedagogy.

17. Flip Misconception # 3
Most of my kids do not even have
internet access at home. There is no way
they can watch all of this video.

18. Flip Misconception #4
Where is the accountability? How do I
even know if kids are watching the
videos?

19. Flip Misconception #5
As a teacher, I don’t have the time or
the expertise to produce all of the
videos required to teach like this.
