What do you hope to learn or be able to do by the end of this course?
My expectation by the end of this course is to be able to effectively implement the flipped classroom approach for lower primary students in a way that is engaging, interactive, and suitable for their learning needs.
In your own words, what is a flipped classroom?
My current understanding of a flipped classroom is that students are introduced to new learning content before class, usually by watching a short instructional video or exploring other learning materials. When they come to class, the teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding students through hands-on activities, discussions, and tasks that help them apply what they have learned.
What is one question or concern you have about implementing flipped learning?
However, my biggest concern about implementing flipped learning is the availability of technology and internet access, as well as ensuring students are committed to completing the pre-class learning activities. I also wonder how to keep younger learners motivated and supported throughout the process.
Define flipped classroom in your own words?
A flipped classroom is a way of learning where students learn new ideas at home, usually by watching a short video or looking at simple learning materials. In class, they use what they have learned through activities, discussions, and projects. The teacher guides and supports students instead of spending most of the lesson explaining new content. This gives students more time to practise, ask questions, and learn together.
How do you think flipped classroom can be applied in your own words?
A flipped classroom can be applied by keeping the pre-class learning simple, short, and engaging. Teachers can share a 3–5 minute video, song, or picture story for pupils to watch with their parents before class. During the lesson, pupils spend more time on hands-on activities, games, pair work, and creative projects while the teacher provides guidance and support. This approach allows young learners to learn at their own pace at home and actively practise their skills in a fun and interactive classroom environment.
