It is one of the most popular new approaches to in
which this approach involves a process where the traditional lecture that
happens in the classroom occurs at home. Students watch lectures on video, and
then come back to school to engage in the exercises they would traditionally
have for homework, and to ask questions based on the lecture they watched on
their own at home. When students watch videos at home, they can stop and go and
at their own pace, and take notes whenever they want. When they return to
school, they can work in groups to discuss what they watched and have their
questions answered by the teacher. In this process, students work together and
learn at their own, and apply what they have learned at home in the classroom.
In traditional learning, students acquire knowledge
in a classroom and are then asked to synthesize, analyze and evaluate after the
class. In the flipped classroom, students acquire knowledge before the class
and use classroom time to practice and apply concepts and ideas through
interaction with each other and teachers. The main drawback of this approach
according to Hertz’s experience is that the teacher won’t be directly working
with the students who will be sitting in front of their computer’s screens to
complete their videos.

your post on the Flipped classrooms was so excited . It was the first time I read about such topic and I wish such classrooms becomes available in our country since such classrooms will benefit the students to become dependent on themselves and the job of the teacher will become easier.
ReplyDeleteThis strategy of teaching is so effective and excited at the same time. Where in one hand, students will enjoy watching videos in their homes by their own or maybe with their friends, way more than listening to lectures in the classrooms. And on the other hand, students will have the opportunities to stop the video and take notes whenever they want unlike in the classrooms.
ReplyDeleteHope to see such strategy practiced some day in our classrooms in Lebanon.
This educational method has caught my attention.It is really excited and must be followed by all schools and teachers.
