It readjusts the time inside and outside the classroom and shifts the decision-making power of learning from teachers to students. In this mode, students can complete autonomous learning before class, including watching video lectures, listening to podcasts, reading enhanced e-books, discussing with other students online, and consulting the required materials at any time.

Teachers no longer take up classroom time to teach information, they have more time to communicate with you. In this teaching mode, students can focus more on active project-based learning and solve problems together, so as to gain a deeper understanding.

This model is a part of the great education movement, which overlaps with teaching methods and tools such as blended learning and inquiry learning in the sense, in order to make learning more flexible and active, and to make students more involved.

In China, there used to be a similar teaching method, but it was called efficient classroom. A typical case is the Dulangkou teaching model tried by Dulangkou Middle School in Shandong Province from 65438 to 0998. Different from the current flip classroom, in these modes, students do not use micro-video and online problems, but use tutorials, textbooks and exercise books.

Classroom characteristics

First, the teaching video is short and pithy; Whether it's salman khan's math tutorial video or Jonathan Pahlman's and Aaron sams's chemistry teaching video, the common feature is short and pithy. Most videos are only a few minutes, and longer videos are only ten minutes.

Second, the teaching information is clear and definite; A remarkable feature of salman khan's teaching video is that the only thing that can be seen in the video is his hand, which keeps writing some mathematical symbols and slowly fills the whole screen. In addition, it is a voice-over explained by words.

Thirdly, reconstruct the learning process; Usually, students' learning process consists of two stages: the first stage is "information transmission", which is realized through the interaction between teachers and students; The second stage is "absorption and internalization", which is completed by students themselves after class.
