Flipped Learning - Reasons You Should Bother
Flipped Learning: Reasons You Should Bother
Abstract
This article will examine how blended learning, with a focus on ‘flipped learning’, is discussed in the literature and how it may help address the current curriculum demands in Australia. As with many educational systems throughout the world, the Australian curriculum is being reworked, revamped and repositioned with a national perspective and engagement with 21st century skills. In particular, this article seeks to assess the level of student engagement with and enjoyment of ‘flipped learning’, and to understand emergent learning relationships (with peers and teachers). It is argued that adopting a flipped learning approach will require a change in classroom environment, pedagogy and classroom management. It is, however, beyond the scope of this article to examine the research regarding student assessment and achievement being attributed to flipped learning. Thus, it concludes with how ‘flipped learning’ may potentially meet the needs of 21st Century learners.
