Flipping+Classroom+Instruction

Harvard Physics Professor, [|Eric Mazur,] uses peer instruction and just-in-time teaching to promote better learning. In the details of his strategy, students use class time to grapple with, discuss and find solutions to problems that have traditionally been given as homework assignments. Mazur believes this collaborative deconstruction and application leads to deeper discussions and better learning.

Alan November and Brian Mull, [|November Learning], suggest the application of this technique to "flip" classroom instruction in our own student learning communities. One example might be to assign students video clips or readings that introduce or build upon a given concept as homework. Having considered the concept prior to class, class time is freed up to engage students in collaborative deconstruction, discourse and guided reconstruction of their understanding and application of the concept(s), connection(s) and content.
