Active Flipped learning EXPLANATION
“Active Flipped Learning (AFL) happens when direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, usually via a video that the teacher creates or curates.” This allows students to learn the basic content when it is convenient for them. (in their own time, at their own pace, and in their own place) I leverage technology, using video tutorials and other online tools, to make the best use of the face to face time I have with my students. This allows my instruction to be more efficient and effective for student learning, and for class time to be more engaging. However, active flipped learning is not successful because of video tutorials, but rather the work (the active part) put in by the student to MASTER the SKILL. An “Active Flipped" classroom switches around the traditional order of teaching (teacher lectures and students listen) with the purpose of:
1) Creating a more in-depth and supportive environment in the classroom when the teacher is present and able to help
students.
2) Allowing for students to receive a more individualized science education where my actual face-to-face time with them
is being used more effectively.
3) Challenging students to learn how to take charge of their learning and manage their time, becoming
resourceful learners, reflective communicators and to think more deeply about their thinking (meta cognition)
4) Easy LEARNING equals Easy FORGETTING - Chemistry will NOT be easy!
5) When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into students' heads.
In this class the students' will actively focus on getting information out of their heads!
