ABSTRACT

The “flipped” or “inverted” class model has been a staple of K-12 education over the past decade and, in recent years, has become increasingly popular in higher education as well. This method of teaching involves assigning students to work through the basic content of a course on their own time, often by watching a recorded lecture or completing a guided reading instead of listening to a traditional in-person lecture. The approach frees up class time for group problem-solving assignments, demonstrations, experiments, questions and answers, and other engaging experiences.
