FLIPPING
THE
CLASSROOM
Basic concepts and ingredients
Why Flipping the Classroom?
Why?

• Supports different learning styles
Students watch videos, clips, read materials or search for
information at home
Why?

• Supports Bloom’s Taxonomy
Students are doing lower level cognitive work at home
(gaining knowledge, learning basic facts, and
summarizing) and there is more time in class for evaluation
of ideas, analysis, comparison and contrast, creation of
products.
Why?

• Supports research on learning
“By providing an opportunity for students to use their new
factual knowledge while they have access to immediate
feedback from peers and the instructor, the flipped classroom
helps students learn to correct misconceptions and organize
their new knowledge such that it is more accessible for future”
(Cynthia Brame, SFT Assistant Director, Vanderbilt University)
