FLIPPED CLASSROOM

I would like to talk about this method because in class we have been debating it.

It is a classroom where students are introduced to content at home and the they practice working throught it at school.

For instance, the teacher can make a video of an specific content. Pupils will watch it at home and then in class they practice about what they have learnt previously.

So, it creates independant students, because it increases the opportunity for personalization and more precise guiding of learning. In the flipped classroom model, students practice under the guidance of the teacher, while accessing content on their own.

It is a self - sufficient learning, because pupils learn what they watch at home. The problem comes when they do not understand the content. So it can be solved in class, because if they have some doubts at home, in class we will solve it, that is better than in a first place when they do not know anything about a topic.

Other important thing is that the knowledge is not conditioning our students, because they will do it relaxed at home and there is not any distraction. So they will understand better what they have to learn.

I think it is a good method for primary education because it motivates pupils to learn better the content. It is because it is a differetn method, and for that reason, students will be motivated to learn more and more.
