Flipped classrooms are more and more used among teachers of different educational levels. The word flipped implies the replacement of traditional schoolwork and homework. In a flipped classroom, the teacher facilitates student collaboration and problem solving at school. At home, students watch teacher instruction using different digital tools and videos and complete reading or some other type of learning activity.
Although the use of flipped methodology is increasing, many teachers still hesitate because of the belief that a teacher needs high ICT skills in order to flip the class. With the Flipped Classroom Handbook we show that high digital skills are not necessary. Many low technology activities create an engaged flipped classroom with real life problems which motivate students for learning.
To help teachers implement a flipped classroom in a flexible way with respect to their level of professional development we developed three ways of flipping the class: Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. The three ways help teachers and students become accustomed to a flipped classroom gradually in order to prevent technology overwhelming either teachers or students.
The handbook is a result of an international partnership under the FACTIVE project, KA2 – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practice, KA202 - Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training, Grant Agreement: 2020-1-PT01-KA202-078344. The FACTIVE project aims to enhance the quality and relevance of the learning offer in Textile and Clothing VET training by developing an innovative learning approach to improve the level and the assessment of learners’ competences and equalize the VET training quality to the modern, creative and innovative needs of the current Textile and Clothing industry in Europe.
We empower teachers so they can do their job best.
