Flipped Classroom

flipped classroom

In the “flipped classroom” students prepare for classes via independent study using conventional or digital learning materials (articles, videos, lecture notes etc.). They acquire the subject knowledge (concepts, terminology etc.) required for the course individually and at their own pace.

Classrooms sessions are thus largely freed from the need to convey knowledge. This creates room for practice-oriented, authentic knowledge-related tasks. Here student interaction comes to the fore, as students address issues and ambiguities together and with the instructors. A central aspect is the consolidation and application of new knowledge via carefully selected assignments, and not just the abstract imparting of content. Instructors, with their specialist knowledge, provide orientation, answer questions and initiate reflection processes appropriate to the target group.
