Upside down teaching

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Upside Down lessons or Flipped Classroom or Inverted Classroom denotes a teaching method of integrated learning in which the homework and the stock exchange are so far reversed when the subject matter is worked out at home by the students and the administration is in the classroom.

Mark

The classic form of teaching consists of teacher-controlled phases in school and exercises at home based on these. In the upside down class, the teachers create material for the students, often video sequences, which they usually receive at home. The exercises then take place in the school.

Effects on teaching

Moving the teaching sequences home leads to more class time in which the learners can be coached by the teachers. The process offers the students the opportunity to receive the teaching content independently and at their own pace. When using videos, for example, you can pause or rewind during the video. If questions or comprehension problems arise, the students can immediately ask the teacher via the Internet or during the practice phases.

Teachers are responsible for the production, selection and provision of suitable materials that are received by the learners outside of the classic teaching time. In the face-to-face phase, questions that arose in preparation can be taken up by the teacher and clarified in front of the assembled class, however, no new material is taught, but the prepared material is practiced and discussed by the learners as independently as possible. The teacher becomes the moderator. It should be taken into account that the traditional teacher lecture is not outsourced with the videos. With the Flipped Classroom, lessons are given a new rhythm and should be considered over and over again at which point a short teacher input is required, which can be replaced by a video.

Methodological aspects

There are some important methodological aspects that need to be taken into account in the practical implementation of the reversed teaching :

  • Provide accompanying tasks: To prevent learners from aimlessly consuming the upstream content, accompanying tasks should be provided. In the simplest case, these can also be certain aspects or key questions to which special attention should be paid when working on the material. At the other end of the spectrum there can be learning through discovery , in which an independent task solution has to be worked out on the basis of the material and the students prepare individually for the lesson with an impulse video (a task).
  • Do not repeat content: If the content from the preceding phase is presented again during the attendance time - for example because hardly anyone has worked on it - there is a risk that the learners will not deal with the material beforehand. This does not apply to questions relating to specific problems with the material.

Examples in the university

In the university environment, Christian Spannagel has implemented the flipped classroom concept since October 2010 and, for example, published his lectures on YouTube . He publishes notes and reflections on the concept on his blog. A regular exchange on this and similar topics takes place at the EduCamps .

On May 31, 2012, the three university professors Jürgen Handke from the Philipps University of Marburg , Christian Spannagel from the Heidelberg University of Education and Jörn Loviscach from the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences propagated this new “lecture format for the 21st century” in a joint press release.

Examples in school

In the school area, Felix Fähnrich and Carsten Thein have a Flipped Classroom project in mathematics. They teach mathematics in this style for the entire course level in Baden-Württemberg. For this they were awarded 1st prize in the competition for innovative teaching methods by the MNU .

In Bavaria, Sebastian Schmidt teaches younger students at a secondary school based on this principle. Since 2012 he has been creating learning videos for his math classes and at the same time trying to further develop the teaching concept. He publishes his experiences, hurdles and projects on his homepage. He mainly deals with analog learning in the flipped classroom. Communication and deepening are the focus of his learning and not the videos. These are only a means to an end, in order to open the lesson in a student-centered manner. He is also the moderator of the ICMChat. There, every second Monday of the month, interested parties from the university and school sector meet in the flipped classroom to exchange ideas about turning learning.

In Austria, the Flipped Classroom Austria initiative by Josef Buchner and Stefan Schmid tries to broaden the approach.
