Why I Gave Up Flipped Instruction - 0 views

flipped instruction flipping inspiration reform

shared by Gayle Cole on 10 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • the flip wasn’t the same economic and political entity then that it is now
  • my brief love affair with the flip has ended. It simply didn’t produce the tranformative learning experience I knew I wanted for my students .
  • The flipped classroom essentially reverses traditional teaching. Instead of lectures occurring in the classroom and assignments being done at home, the opposite occurs.

  • I imagined the flip as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/PBL classroom.
  • progression from a teacher-centred classroom to a student-centred one.
  • my students began to do lots of their their own research. Sometimes this resulted in them teaching each other. Sometimes they created a project with the knowledge they were acquiring. But the bottom line was that their learning had a purpose that was apparent to them, beyond simply passing the unit exam.
  • . My goal as a teacher shifted from information-giver and gatekeeper to someone who was determined to work myself out of a job by the time my students graduated.
  • I would never resurrect it. Here’s why:
  • Mostly I talked about inquiry learning and student choice.
  • “If you think it’s only about the videos, then you have a really shallow definition of what this could be. The real power is when students take responsibility for their own learning.”
  • When we shifted to a student-centred classroom, my students took control of their learning, and I quit lecturing. I haven’t lectured in almost two years.
  •   It’s been stated that “At its most basic level, the flipped classroom gives students more control over their educations, allowing them to start and stop or rewind important lectures to focus on key points.”  To me, this isn’t giving students control over their education, although it may be creating new markets for content-oriented videos and related materials.
  • What are you going to learn? How are you going to learn it? How are you going to show me your learning? This became our mantra — our framework for learning.  This is what it means to give students “control over their education.”
  • My students chose the resources that helped them learn best. Throughout the 8 weeks, students sent me the ones they considered “best of the best,” and they were added to our online textbook. And it really was “ours.”
  • Others needed to hunker down to really grasp them. My students differentiated their own instruction.
  • I talked to every student every day. I could look at their work, have them articulate their thinking process, and see where they were struggling.
  • cognitive dissonance, and when they do, we talk about that in the context of their brain development.
  • , they needed to construct theories as to how stoichiometry works, rather than watching a video and memorizing the equation.
  • Alfie Kohn states, a learning environment that promotes constructing knowledge “treats students as meaning makers and offers carefully calibrated challenges that help them to develop increasingly sophisticated theories. The point is for them to understand ideas from the inside out.”
  • my students created flexible groups, depending on what they were working on. They found peers who were working on the same concept they were, so that they could help each other. Sometimes they realized who they couldn’t work with on a particular day, and found a different group of peers to work with instead.
  • For the first time, none of my students were left behind. Everyone learned Chemistry. Everyone
