Teaching Practice of Combining MOOCs and Flipped Classroomon on a College Course

摘要

Nowadays, various techniques have been combined increasingly and applied into blended learning to improve students' learning outcomes. Based on a teaching practice of Modern Education Technology course in a normal college, this study was to analyze the complementary relationship between MOOCs and flipped classroom in teaching, and explore students' perception of this new teaching method so as to point out the challenges that this type of teaching method would face. A total of 158 students participated in this study, and both quantitative and qualitative research methods were adopted. Results from this study, on the one hand, students hoped to benefit from the teaching environment integrated with technology; on the other hand, the students' original learning habits and perspectives formed in their previous learning experience prevent them from quickly adapting to the new teaching method. What's more, the results showed that the main challenge of this teaching method was that the classroom environment couldn't provide immediate feedback to students. Concludes with recommendations that educators should teach students to solve the above-mentioned problems so as to contribute to more prominent advantages of new technologies.
