The use of flipped learning has the potential to be an effective method of instruction that can possibly bring about better learning outcomes. Early pioneers of the Flipped Classroom model, Bergmann and Sams, used the online material mostly to review and reinforce classroom lessons during flipped learning and the classroom becomes the place to work through problems, advanced concepts, and engages in collaborative learning (Tucker, 2012).
During flipped learning, students would view video lectures or animations to help them learn new concepts and complete their assignments at their own place. This allows teachers design activities for students to engage in active learning so that they can apply their concepts learnt and engage in discussions in the classroom. Active learning can include discussion, student-created content, independent problem solving, inquiry-based learning, and project-based learning (Bergmann, Overmyer, & Wilie, 2012). Active learning in the classroom is an important component of flipped learning. This allows students to explore topics in greater depth and actively involve in knowledge construction as they participate in and evaluate their learning in a manner that is personally meaningful. (Flipped Learning Network (FLN). (2014) The Four Pillars of

Basri (2013) highlighted the benefits and limitations. It was mentioned that students were able to learn and revise at their own pace. Flipped learning also provided the opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in class and engage at a higher level of discussion. However, he noted that over reliance on a particular teaching approach could make students less engaged and thus educators need to tailor their teaching strategies to meet the needs of students. In another study by Danker (2015), the results showed that the flipped classroom approach was able to achieve deep learning and increase the level of students’
In order to make connections to the previous lesson, students will recall information that was previously learned, such as the definition of main idea and detail, explain the ways to identify the main idea, and describe details in a story. Making connections to skills they have previously learned adds value to the content the students are learning. I will model examples, guide instruction, and allow students to collaborate with peers in order to support student learning until they are able to identify the main idea and describe supporting details on their own. There will be differentiated instruction and assessments for students on different learning levels. It is important to teach to the students’ learning needs in order to see progress in all students.
“After completing a project, students understand content more deeply, remember what they learn and retain it longer than is often the case with traditional instruction. Because of this, students who gain content knowledge with PBL are better able to apply what they know and can do to new situations” (“Why Project Based Learning”, Buick Institute for Education 2017). The Buick Institute for Education is a grand supporter of PBL learning, they strongly believe that PBL is the most effective way of learning by making school more engaging to students, building success skills for college, career, life and connecting what students learned to the real world. “In PBL classrooms, students demonstrate improved attitudes toward learning. They exhibit more engagement, are more self-reliant, and have better attendance than in more traditional settings” (Thomas, 2000; Walker & Leary, 2009).
Students learn a variety of ways and we have to adapt our teaching and lessons to ensure that all students are learning. We are educating the future, we are teaching students to become critical thinkers,
Although it can be difficult for teachers to make time to do something new in the classroom, it is never impossible to try. Students need teachers that care enough to teach to the best of their ability, not just teach the standards and get by. In the chapter “How Engaged and Alive We Can All Be!” Jeffrey D. Wilhelm states that, “with some simple reframing (of curriculum into inquiry, of teaching for engaged transaction instead of information transmission), we can meet our students’ basic human needs for motivation, accomplishment, community, and much more” (Wilhelm 14-15). This idea can not be stressed enough.
Evidence based practice (EBP) is a process of integrating high quality evidence into practice or care provided by health professionals and decision makers in health care. This discussion will explore the meaning of the term Evidence Based Practice further and discuss its origins. EBP requires finding the best available evidence to inform practice, its greatest benefit being the best possible care for a client. Other benefits and limitations will be further discussed below. EBP demands the client be seen as an individual and their unique circumstances be considered in the application of evidence
The article examined three key points (a) broadening access for all students and providing opportunities for students to recover course credit, (b) the potential to motivate and engage students due to the flexible and self-paced nature of online learning, and (c) providing highly individualized and differentiated environments allowing for personalized learning. Several benefits are presented throughout the article such as offering students flexibility to learn at their own pace, accessibility to content and material that can individualized to meet learner needs, and developing effective improvement strategies to help schools turnaround (Watson & Gemin,
Objectivism Pros • Advocates for “independent thinking, productiveness, justice, honesty, and self-responsibility” (Biddle, 2014). o As educators we encourage independent thinking and when it comes to online learning, one will need to be able to think independently as sometimes the course will be asynchronous. • Objectivism advocates scientific advancement, industrial progress, objective (as opposed to “progressive” or faith-based) education” (Biddle, 2014). • “Every principle is derived from the observable facts of reality and the demonstrable requirements of human life and happiness” (Biddle, 2014). o I feel that my district is doing this currently with their “visible learning walkthroughs.”
The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.
In a learning environment, teachers want to help students engage with what they are doing to promote deeper understanding" (Kohn, 1997c). The student-directed learning theory implies that the teacher should share the
Students worked in small groups collaborate to answer questions related to catheter insertion, extraction, and maintenance. The method that was used to evaluate the students is manually grading of the post-quiz to measure the students’ cognitive ability to retain the information. No apparatus or equipment used during the data collection. Miller and Metz (2014), investigates and compared the perception of the active learning process between students who were exposed to the active learning process in the classroom and members who relied on the lecture as their primary teaching strategy. The study concludes that 89% of students who engages in the active learning process through gaming in the classroom predicted favorable results in the students’ performances and motivated to learn the
Continually pushing students to create and apply their knowledge, while developing skills essential to future
There are four general theoretical perspectives (Slavin, 1995) that have guided research on co-operative learning, namely, (a) motivational, (b) social cohesion, (c) cognitive-developmental and (d) cognitive-elaboration. 1. Motivational Perspective : Motivational perspectives on co-operative learning focus primarily on the reward or goal structures under which students operate (Slavin, 1977, 1983a, 1995). The motivational perspective presumes that task motivation is the single most powerful part of the learning process, proclaiming that the other processes such as planning and helping are determined by individuals’ motivated self-interest. Motivational researchers focus especially on the reward or goal structure under which students operate,
Evolving methodologies for curriculum and instruction are essential to improving how we educate. McMillian positions that essential to this is understanding the value of scientific inquiry. He explains, “the principles of scientific inquiry provide the foundation for conducting studies…analyzing educational problems, making decisions, and designing, conducting, reporting, and evaluating” (McMillian, 2016, p. 7) to provide significant benefits for engaging students and affecting achievement. Among the changing methodologies is the consensus that the use of STEM-education concepts are necessary to prepare students for 21st century skill-building. Subsequently, this has led to an instructional methodology that highlights math-centered curriculum, and the instruction of science and technology as independent of core content.
With the use of digital learning, it will help the students to be more active engaged in their lesson,
As we can notice traditional classroom cannot longer satisfy the needs of education in the 21st- century. So we have to make radical changes in order to create the classroom that will motivate students to learn. Teachers today teach using different pedagogical approaches and various instructional methods. According to fact that our educational system is changed with the help of technology the 21st -century classroom should be a productive environment where students can develop the skills they will need in workplace. The modern 21st-century classrooms should encourage students to develop their high order thinking skills.
