Teachers at Cal State Fullerton are using the flipped classroom to improve learning outcomes in bottle neck classes and classes that have low passing rates.
Classes in different departments such as Economics, Finance, and Nursing are being redesign using media rich methodologies that take advantage of technology to put students in charge of their learning.
Instructional designers are partnering with educators to bring to life memorable educational experiences that give students active roles in their pursuit for knowledge. Passive lecture are rapidly facing off. Students are enjoying being able to control video lectures, watching when they want and rewinding as needed to grasp essential content.
The undergraduates are finding value in having a teacher around when they are working on more cognitive demanding activities. In the flipped classroom, teachers witness the performance of the students during the higher level thinking and step in to clarify, question, correct or challenge students. During the class meeting, when students are trying to apply methods or find suitable solutions to problems, the presence of a mentor empowers them. Suddenly, talking and participating is not optional. Everyone is actively involved during the class meeting. This type of engagement builds confidence, strengthen social skills, and helps student establish professional networks.
With the new flipping the classroom model, students are becoming lifelong learners and they are getting prepared for participation in the global society.
