Should you FLIP? Using the Flipped
Classroom to Enhance Learning
Dr. Karen Clark, Assistant Professor Science
Objectives• Introduce flipped classroom model• Discuss flipped pros and cons• Share a flipped science lab and
students’ perception • Discuss current flip project • Tools available
What is the Flipped Classroom ?Pedagogical model which combines traditional practices of
learning with virtual learning. Value of a flipped class is repurposing the use of time in class (Educause, 2012).
Wait…is this a new concept?
The flipped classroom is NOT
• Khan Academy
• Replacing teachers with videos
• A way to cram more information in
• Students spending all of their time staring at a computer screen
Pros to Flipped Model• Students approach material at
their own pace
• Students are held responsible for their learning
• Devote classroom time to difficult concepts
• Active learning, problem based, case study activities
• Higher Bloom’s
• Absence, sickness, flat tire, Grandma died… again
• Review course materials
Cons to Flipped Model• TIME required for both instructor &
student
• Culture shift for students
• Loss of “stage” control
• No immediate feedback
• Loss of “personality”
• Motivation of student
• Technology issues
• RISK!!!
Flipped Microbiology Laboratory • Example PowerPoint http://my.brainshark.com/Gram- Staining-723450174
Example Video Using Flip Camera
Example Quiz
Surveying for Student Perception
The survey consisted of 10 questions:4 pertained to student learning3 pertained to student preparedness2 pertained to the use of technology1 pertained to time spent out of class
Of the 22 students in the microbiology class, 16 completed the survey.
Student Survey
Table 2. Being able to watch the video demonstrations increased my abilities to achieve the learning objectives
Agreed/Disagreed Number of Student responses Percentage
Strongly Agreed 14 88
Agreed 2 13
Neutral 0 0
Disagreed 0 0
Strongly Disagreed 0 0
Student Survey
Table 5: By being able to watch a video of the lab technique prior to performing the technique, I felt prepared for the lab experience.
Agreed/Disagreed Number of Student responses Percentage
Strongly Agreed 9 56
Agreed 7 44
Neutral 0 0
Disagreed 0 0

Student Survey
Table 10: I spent more time on out-of-class assignments in this class than I would in a traditional lecture class.
Agreed/Disagreed Number of Student responses Percentage
Strongly Agreed 3 19
Agreed 4 25
Neutral 4 25
Disagreed 5 31
Strongly Disagreed 0 0
Current Project - BIOL 122 Anatomy & Physiology II
Pedagogical tool incorporated with traditional lecture
10 minute video segments
Quizzes
In Class Group Activities: • Flow charts • Concept mapping• Critical thinking questions • Case studies
Use as review outside of class
