An introduction to the idea of "Flipped" Learning

1. Flipped learning
An Introduction
The “Flip” refers to the change in the roles of
“Work in class” and “Work at home”
Traditionally lessons have been about content
transfer, with home work reserved for applying
knowledge that has already been taught
In the “Flipped Model” students learn content at
home and apply the knowledge in class

2. Find You level
A programme that is fully committed to the flipped
model would have a significant bank of resources for
students, generally online. They would learn most or
all of the new content at home
It is of course possible to take a more tentative
approach. Perhaps there are some topics of relatively
low conceptual demand that students could teach
themselves over a holiday.

3. Benefits
There are many benefits to this approach:
• Students have to be less passive and more active. Taking
responsibility of their learning
• More class time is available to tackle higher order work.
For example applying knowledge in new contexts

4. Evidence
Education research shows that the flipped learning
raises achievement. But only where the out of class
work can be evidenced
