Synchronous (Onsite) Flipping for the Future: Revamping the Post-Pandemic Classroom with Flipped Learning more
Sun, Apr 30, 09:00-Sat, Apr 29, 09:50 Asia/Seoul
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 workshop, participants will be guided through flipping using three easy-to-remember principals. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lesson plans to personalize their workshop experience, and will leave prepared to further enhance students’ learning experiences and help maximize classroom time.
