Explicit instruction makes children less likely to engage in spontaneous exploration and discovery. A study by MIT researchers and colleagues compared the behavior of children given a novel toy under four different conditions, finding that children expressly taught one of its functions played with the toy for less time and discovered fewer things to do with it than children in the other three scenarios.
You don't have to know much about the psychology of learning to realise that a series of once-only, delivered lectures is pedagogic nonsense.

The goal of the flipped classroom should be to shift lessons from “consumables” to “produceables.”
Blake-Plock makes a strong point when he says we learn by “doing.”
