Aslam o alaikum and hello every one,

In my perspective flipped class room has more grip in learning of student, although traditonal classroom have also its impacts of learning. Let me make it more clear.

As we all know that in a traditional classroom, the teacher primarily delivers lectures during class time, with students absorbing information and then completing assignments or studying at home. This approach is familiar and straightforward, making it easier to manage in settings with limited resources, such as in many schools including Pakistan. However, it often provides limited opportunities for individualized attention and adaptive learning, as the pace is usually set by the teacher and must accomodate to the average student.

Now in flipped classroom the same module disscussed above is inverted, although I am not experienced in this module but seen videos in pandemic days. In this module Student has to learn from videos made by teacher, which student can play, pause, or review or replay again. It means here the pace has to set by a student. Every individual student has to decide at his own in context of learning. This is called adaptive and individualised learning.

Actually If we are interested in adaptive and individualised learning then our approach must be towrds flipped classroom. ** Also mind that a student must have access to all educational material needed for flipped classroom, and he/she must have a good understanding of using that material.** Un fortunately in Pakistan average students have these kinds of commands.

Flipped classroom model replaced the traditional classroom because FC emphasizes active learning which means it engages with discussions, problem-solving, and collaborative activities, which can lead to deeper understanding compared to passive learning like lecture mode. The things that need to be given attention is that all students may have equal access to the necessary technology at home, such as computers or reliable internet connections. Poor socio-economic background parents facing problems. Secondly, are all students, especially the primary children disciplined to access the assignments on time? Good parental care is needed here. But both parents are busy with their work. These are the main problems I am facing while implementing the flipped classroom in my school. So, finally I'm doing partial flipped classroom.

The flipped classroom model significantly differs from the traditional approach by having students engage with instructional content at home and dedicating class time to interactive activities and personalized support. In this model, teachers act more as facilitators, guiding students through discussions and problem-solving, which increases individual and group interactions. Students are more actively engaged in learning, collaborating with peers, and taking responsibility for their education. The self-paced nature of the flipped classroom allows students to review materials as needed and address any difficulties during class time. Technology is essential for accessing pre-class content, necessitating reliable internet access. Continuous assessment and immediate feedback during class activities are key features, promoting ongoing learning and understanding. Overall, the flipped classroom fosters a more dynamic, interactive, and personalized learning environment, encouraging deeper engagement and independence in students.

@Ana_moderator Aslam o alikum mad Hi Ana
Some time when I use flipped class room I observe that in Traditional Classroom the Class time is primarily used for direct instruction and lecturing.while in Flipped Classroom Class time is used for interactive, hands-on activities, discussions, and applying knowledge.
Traditional Classroom Students are passive recipients of information.while in
Flipped Classroom Students engage with content actively before class, allowing for more dynamic and participatory class sessions.
By adopting the flipped classroom approach, educators aim to create a more engaging, personalized, and effective learning environment for students.

@Ana_moderator flipped in other words we can say active learning method which is student centered method only teacher is not bound to share but students also has right to present bundle of ideas regarding the topic they do advance study at homes this is what we called modern flipped active learning am i right agree?

@Ana_moderator flipped classroom more effective than traditional method

@Engr-Zeeshan thank you so much

@Bousl2336873cb4 informative

@MYLOG47799627c6 I agree with you

Are your students fully engaged during class? How can you transform your teaching approach to enhance learning and interaction?

The flipped classroom model might be the answer. This approach reverses traditional teaching by having students learn new content at home and use class time for interactive activities.
Here’s a comprehensive look at how to implement this model effectively with innovative techniques.
What is a Flipped Classroom?
A flipped classroom reverses traditional lecture and homework elements. Students first engage with instructional content outside of class (e.g., via videos or readings) and then use class time for active learning and problem-solving.
Benefits:
Enhanced Engagement:
Students arrive prepared for deeper discussions and applications.
Increased Flexibility:
Allows students to learn at their own pace and revisit content as needed.
More Interactive Class Time:
Focuses on collaborative and hands-on learning.
Innovative Techniques for Flipping the Classroom

1. Interactive Video Lectures:
   Technique: Use platforms like Edpuzzle or PlayPosit to create interactive videos with quizzes and prompts.
   Idea: Embed formative quizzes within videos to check comprehension before class.
2. Curated Online Resources:
   Technique: Develop a repository of articles, podcasts, and simulations related to the topic.
   Idea: Organize resources using tools like Google Classroom or LMS.
   3.Peer Teaching:
   Technique: Have students create and present their own explanations or presentations on a topic.
   Idea: Students produce short videos or slideshows for peer review.
3. Gamification:
   Techniques: Incorporate game elements such as points, badges, or leaderboards for completing pre-class tasks.
   Idea: Use platforms like Kahoot! or Quizizz for engaging quizzes.
4. Flipped Mastery:
   Technique: Implement mastery-based learning where students must demonstrate understanding before moving on.
   Idea: Use online assessments or discussion forums for feedback.
5. Collaborative Learning Spaces:
   Technique: Design activities that emphasize group work and problem-solving.Idea: Use stations or breakout groups for collaborative projects.
   Idea: Use stations or breakout groups for collaborative projects.
6. Real-Time Feedback:
   Technique: Use digital tools for immediate feedback during class, such as live polls or collaborative documents.
   Idea: Tools like Padlet or Google Forms for instant feedback.
7. Flipped Field Trips:
   Technique: Create virtual field trips or simulations for exploration before class.
   Idea: Utilize resources like Google Expeditions or virtual labs.
8. Student Choice and Autonomy:
   Technique: Offer students options for pre-class materials based on their learning preferences.
   Idea: Provide choices such as videos, readings, or interactive content.
   Implementing the Flipped Classroom Model
9. Plan and Structure:
   Design clear pre-class content and in-class activities.
   Ensure pre-class materials are accessible and engaging.
10. Communicate Expectations:
    Explain the flipped classroom model and set clear expectations for preparation and participation.
11. Provide Support:
    Offer additional help and resources for students who need it, such as tutoring.
12. Assess and Adapt:
    Regularly evaluate the model’s effectiveness and adjust based on feedback and learning outcomes.
    Could the flipped classroom model enhance your teaching effectiveness? By flipping the traditional approach, you can foster a more interactive and engaging learning environment. Implementing these innovative techniques can help create a dynamic classroom that better supports student learning and participation.

@Tabassumlaghari This method is amazing as Flipped learning is a methodology that helps teachers to prioritize active learning during class time by assigning students lecture materials and presentations to be viewed at home or outside of class. One of the most exciting advancements in the modern classroom is flipped learning.

@Ana_moderator After practicing flipped classroom approach in education the major differences I see is that, A flipped classroom reverses the traditional teaching role where the lessons are first taught, and then homework is assigned. Instead, the students first study the course material, typically through online lectures, then learn how to implement what they learned in a classroom setting.

Traditional classroom are teacher centred, where teacher deliver lecture to the students to gain knowledge and receive information.
In which Text books, notebooks and other paperwork used.
Flipped classroom are Student centred,where students access lectures and other contents at home and discuss hands on activities using classroom. In this video lectures and other online resources are used.
Now, here I am sharing some points of Using Technology classroom.
A Technology classroom can be both Teacher centred and student-centered, with technology integraty into lessons. in which tablets, computers, online tools and educational softwares are used. It's engagement is higher due to interactive content and multimedia.

Which classroom will you prefer

@FarhanMehboob Aslam o Alaikum dear brother,

Each type of classroom has its own benefits. Traditional classrooms offer direct teacher-student interaction. Flipped classrooms let students learn at home and use class time for practice. Technology classrooms use digital tools to make learning interactive.

I think the best choice depends on what works best for the students and the lesson goals. Combining these methods might be the most effective way to teach.

I hope you got my point.

In flipped classroom approach the students are required to learn any new topic or unit or lesson or chapter by themselves at home and on the next day in real classroom they show their performance of learning before teacher. The teacher addds those things which they have not learnt by themselves. In this way the concept of that new topic or unit or lesson or chapter becomes clear in their minds. So I think flipped classroom approach is very effective apprach of learning. This approach makes students independent learners. They neither rely upon others nor copy from others. As being a teacher it is our experience when we assign any work to students to do many of the students only copy from other students. If there are mistakes in their works the mistskes are in the work of those students who have copied from others.

@FarhanMehboob
Boths approaches have their own importance. The flipped classroom approach makes students independent learner. We should combine both approaches. The students should bd required to learn any new topic by themselves at home and on the next day in resl classroon they should be asked to show their performance of learning before teacher. The teacher then add those things which students have not learned by themselves. As all students can not learn fully by themselves. Again teacher's role is very important. Without a teacher students can not learn fully. Flipped classroom approach makes students independent learner only. In this approach students can not fully. Again need of teacher is very important. So we should combine both approaches. Wher there is facility of digilal technology in classroom it should be utilized. Again the learning will be interesting and effective.

@FarhanMehboob both class rooms are effective...but of course students attract with technological tools they want to use and learn with new gadgets ....

@Ana_moderator In a flipped learning environment, students work at their own pace at home, but a more traditional classroom adheres to a specific schedule and even out-of-class activities have hard deadlines.

@Ana_moderator
I use the flipped classroom method. It allows you to devote more time to practical work. If in the traditional class the students were mostly passive, then here they are active learners: they are able to present the lesson, share their point of view, ask questions, let me not forget to mention that they are also media literate because they are able to use ICT tools on their own. And with proper time management, the teacher is able to develop practical skills in children, thus having a competent student. Hiansle's method for 21st century learners.

I said the positive aspects. But this method also has challenges that not all students are provided with ICT tools, especially in poor regions. I hope that our states agree on the goal of sustainable development
will solve this issue because all children are equal and have equal rights to receive high quality education.

Everyone talking about teaching techniques but our all techniques is failed if students not given back response in classroom, let's talk about students thinking about the topic I mean teacher is only responsible how he or she taking start topic to easy very easy understand how students learning from teacher.
Any idea please share your experience this is my personal ponit
