@Ana_moderator said in Traditional VS flipped classroom for adaptive and individualized learning:
n a traditional classroom a teacher usually delivers a presentation that introduces students to new concepts and learning materials. Students mostly listen to the presentation, at home students review the notes to learn the material presented in class and complete some homework. Thus, there is a teaching phase in the class (when the material is delivered) and a learning phase out of class (when students engage more actively with the material).
In a flipped classroom this framework is reversed: students first discover new material at home, out of class (through assigned reading, videos etc.) and the lesson can be dedicated to practical activities which allow the students to actively engage with the material in the presence of the teacher and often in collaboration with other students.
So the role of teachers shifts from the transferring knowledge to guiding the students in mastering new skills and understanding when and how to use the information they learn.
If you are practicing flipped classroom approach in education what major differences do you see?
Thank you for this detailed explanation of the differences between a traditional classroom approach and the flipped classroom model. You've provided an excellent overview of how the roles and responsibilities shift between the teacher and students in a flipped classroom setting.
Some of the major differences I see in practicing the flipped classroom approach include:
Active Learning: As you mentioned, the flipped classroom dedicates valuable in-class time to active, hands-on learning activities where students can apply the concepts they've already been introduced to at home. This allows for deeper engagement and mastery of the material, rather than passive lecture-based learning.
Personalized Support: With the initial exposure to new content happening outside of class, the teacher can use in-class time to provide more personalized guidance, feedback, and support to students as they work through challenging concepts and practice new skills.
Collaborative Learning: The flipped classroom model often encourages more group work and collaborative activities during class time, fostering peer-to-peer learning and the development of important teamwork and communication skills.
Student Autonomy: By shifting the initial learning to the out-of-class phase, students take on more responsibility for their own learning. This can help develop important self-directed learning skills and study habits.
Data-Driven Instruction: The teacher can use data and feedback from the out-of-class learning activities to identify areas where students are struggling, and then tailor the in-class lessons and discussions to address those specific needs.
Flexible Pacing: The flipped model allows for more flexibility in pacing, as students can revisit the pre-class materials at their own pace, and the teacher can adapt the in-class activities based on the class's progress and needs.
