(2347) FLIPPED PEDAGOGY: CREATE THE NEED TO ALSO MEET AS A GROUP

摘要

Typically, in a flipped classroom situation, students prepare for the course at home, reading course notes and come to class to ask their questions. According to the original model, after all questions are answered and the concepts understood by all, the class is dismissed. Do those who don’t have questions not bother coming to class? Is this the best picture? Usually the course preparation at home is followed-up with actual practice, to provide further work, on the knowledge and know-how to be mastered. In an oral report, Tony Bates strongly suggested that universities find a way to have students attribute added value to class sessions on Campus in addition to on-line work [1]. It is obvious that with no such dependency, students will feel that they can take classes anywhere on-line and the feeling of belonging to a certain group on a university campus might become trivial. So the questions become, how to bring the students to Campus classes, how to make it worth their while. We discuss findings during a semester long course, examining what the instructor implemented and what the students expected.
