During a MEDEAnet webinar on 21 March 2013, Olaf de Groot (Stichting Kennisnet, the Netherlands) introduced the Flipped Classroom model and the didactical approach needed for it. This webinar was part of the MEDEAnet webinar series, sharing good practices on producing and using educational media. View the recording on www.medeanet.eu/webinars.

1. FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM
Activating didactical approach and the Flipping the Classroom-model

like?
Making a good And the teacher?
start

4. In the Netherlands, really popular

5. In short …
Definition:
“Flipping the Classroom is a way to organise your education. Classical
knowledge transfer is being (partially) replaced with videos or other
online ways of instruction.
Pupils have to watch these instruction videos at home and in class they
have to apply their knowledge in assignments en practical use.”

7. Why?
Sometimes you need to change perspective (turn your head and see)

8. Why?
Simple applications make it possible to record classical instruction
BUT
Why should you?
It costs extra time;
You need to change the lessons at school;
How can I check if pupils make (watch) their homework?

9. Why
In other words: which problem does this approach solve?

12. Why Flipping the Classroom?
Flipping the Classroom can help in organising education especially with:
Personalized Learning;
Letting pupils learn at their own pace in their own time;
Creating room for achieving 21 st century.

13. A Dutch example
Geography teacher David Pijpaert, www.davidpijpaert.nl, uses video to
instruct his pupils. With little editing he records his PowerPoint
presentations or records a vodcast. He then places this content
online, for example on www.vimeo.com. Pupils need to watch these
videos before they can go on in class.

15. Making a GOOD start
Flipping the Classroom is more than just showing some videos
Two sides of the story:
• Videos contain the parts of the lesson that are suitable for digital
offering;
• In class USE the time that you get when you don’t give classical
instructions anymore!

17. Didactics & differentiation
Technology is contributing to differentiated education:

18. Didactics & differentiation
Research has shown that the use of video:
• Students are in control of pace of learning;
• Motivates students;
• Helps to differentiate;
• Helps to reflect;

20. What does it look like?

21. Go beyond the video…. Flipped Mastery

23. What about the teacher?

24. What does it require from the teacher?
Besides didactical competences the teacher also needs technical skills
(ICT competences).
