Inverting an Introductory Statistics Classroom

Abstract

The inverted classroom allows more in-class time for inquiry-based learning and for working through more advanced problem-solving activities than does the traditional lecture class. The skills acquired in this learning environment offer benefits far beyond the statistics classroom. This paper discusses four ways that can make the inverted classroom successful in an Introductory Statistics class: how to motivate students to prepare for each class, how to move the teaching of technology out of the classroom, how to balance student classwork, and how to create a mindset for learning.     

The Synergistic Effects of Self-Regulation Tools and the Flipped Classroom

ABSTRACT

Students at open-enrollment institutions enter college with a wide range of academic preparedness and are often required to take developmental classes to increase their academic skills to be successful in higher education. Further, few students possess self-regulated learning skills to aid in their learning. Researchers posited that academically at-risk students benefit from gains in self-regulated learning skills when a modeling and scaffolding approach is used to implement self-regulated learning tools. Self-regulated skills coupled with an active learning environment like the flipped classroom provide positive synergistic effects for academically at-risk students. This study compared several iterations of the flipped classroom in a general chemistry class at an open-enrollment college where high school class rank and mathematics placement level varied significantly. The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that mathematics level and class rank were significant when predicting overall course grade regardless of the learning environment. The results of a paired-samples t test did not reveal a significant difference upon addition of note-taking and exam wrappers in a flipped classroom learning environment. However, students graduating high school in the top third, middle third, and bottom third of their graduating class increased their overall course grades in a flipped classroom using self-regulated tools by 7%, 3%, and 6%, respectively. To enhance the quantitative results, the author provides student comments on note-taking and the use of exam wrappers.     

Inquiry-Based Learning and the Flipped Classroom Model

Abstract

The flipped classroom model of teaching can be an ideal venue for turning a traditional classroom into an engaging, inquiry-based learning (IBL) environment. In this paper, we discuss how two instructors at different universities made their classrooms come to life by moving the acquisition of basic course concepts outside the classroom and using class time for active problem-based learning. Results from student surveys are presented to relate student perceptions of the flipped/IBL classroom model.

Flipped Active Learning in Your Mathematics Classroom Without Videos

We explored the effectiveness of a flipped active learning pedagogy in a liberal arts mathematics course without video or interactive preparation. In both control and active learning classes, students were required to respond to a reading before class and take a quiz after class. During the active learning class, students worked together in groups on problems instead of listening to a lecture. This modest change in the in-class course structure showed that students were more willing to work with peers and ask questions of the instructor. Sources examined include common grade items as well as pre- and post-course attitude surveys.

Flipped Classroom Implementation: A Case Report of Two Higher Education Institutions in the United States and Australia

Abstract

This case report explored the implementation of flipped classrooms at two higher education institutions. Experiences and publications from the institutions were used to identify and describe common themes, including successes and challenges encountered along with potential solutions to common misalignments, particularly as related to technology-enhanced learning. Strategies for selecting and delivering pre-class content, designing and implementing in-class activities, and identifying and using assessments to inform practice are described. Overall design considerations include instructor skill development, student buy-in, and institutional support for the model. This report highlights several critical approaches to effectively designing and implementing the flipped classroom model, with consideration given to the use of technology to support this innovation.

“翻转课堂”的基本图景与问题审视

教学是一种充满创造性的活动,应该因人、因事、因时、因地而异。目前国内＂翻转课堂＂呈现的基本图景更多是西方教育技术化和商业化文化背景下的一种技术图景或商业个案,并非一种完全适合中国本土实际的＂放之四海而皆准＂的教育图景,更非无所不能的教育神话。中小学教师在实施过程中应本着务实求真的态度,不宜不切实际地盲目跟进。深化＂翻转课堂＂变革,突破点在于转变学生应试、被动的学习方式,力争推动学生的个性化的深度学习。同时坚持＂教师教学能力提升优先＂的基本原则。尤其需要纯化教学改革动机,坚守教学正义,彰显课程教学改革者的事业心和责任感。
