Flipped Classroom: An Effective Method of Engaging Students in Learning

Kavitha H S

Abstract

Rapid technological progress has placed significant pressure on the younger generation to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field of medical sciences. In response, educators must adapt creative teaching methods to equip this generation for forthcoming challenges, especially considering the decreasing duration of training periods. An innovative approach, such as the Flipped Classroom or Inverted Classroom, emerges as a solution to empower learners by fostering critical thinking abilities and enabling effective absorption of extensive information through active learning. This entails students engaging with reading and comprehension tasks at home, while classroom time is dedicated to more advanced learning aspects like analysis, evaluation, and practical application of foundational knowledge. The objective of this review article is to provide educators with guidance on implementing the flipped classroom concept within their teaching arsenal, utilizing keywords such as alternative learning strategies, innovation, inverted classroom, pedagogy, and teaching methodology.

Keywords: Flipped Classroom, Inverted Classroom, alternative learning strategies, Engaging Students in Learning.

Introduction

1. Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom is often considered an effective method for engaging students in their learning. "Flipping the classroom means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or watching lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, through problem-solving, discussion, or debates in the presence of instructor or facilitator"( Young TP 2014). The model was popularized by Eric Mazur claiming that the learning gains are nearly tripled with this approach that focuses on the student and interactive learning (Mazur 2009). Here are some reasons why the flipped classroom can be a powerful approach for enhancing student engagement:

Active Learning: The flipped classroom encourages students to take an active role in their learning. By engaging with materials outside of class, students can come to class ready to participate in discussions, group activities, and problem-solving exercises.

Personalized Learning: Students can progress through the pre-recorded lectures or readings at their own pace, allowing for personalized learning. Those who need more time to understand a concept can review the material multiple times, while those who grasp it quickly can move ahead.
