Flipping for the Future: Revamping the Post-Pandemic Classroom with Flipped Learning
Transforming the teacher’s role from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side” (King, 1993), a flipped curriculum is not merely an online course, self-paced assignments, or collection of self-study materials, but rather a carefully crafted curriculum that shifts the bulk of content and assignments on the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy outside of the classroom, and focuses in-class time on reaching higher levels of thinking with the guidance and support of the teacher. Compared with traditional classrooms, a flipped approach creates more opportunities for student engagement, increases student autonomy and motivation (Campillo-Ferrer & Miralles-Martínez, 2021), and allows for further student collaboration. In this presentation, participants will be guided through flipping using three easy-to-remember principals. Participants will leave equipped with resources to further enhance their students’ learning experiences and maximize classroom time.
