The world is going through a continuous process of transformation from standardized to technologybased education. A flipped classroom (FC) is a new pedagogical model of delivering educational content. This model employs the most varied means to deliver a message to the most varied audience – students. In the flipped classroom the control of instruction is no longer solely in the hands of a teacher. The increased level of independence in the ways how and when to study new material attracts students, they are engaged in a highly interactive, logical constructive environment. According to Hawks (2014), a flipped classroom represents the unique combination of constructivist and behaviorist principles, which suggests the answer to the shifted educational paradigm of the era. Behavioral learning theory is based on traditional classroom instruction, while constructivism highlights individual’s personal experience on constructing and understanding knowledge (Hawks, 2014). Therefore, the combination of these two approaches spiced up with modern technology gives us a universal tool to instruct students as individuals ready to interact with the world outside the classroom. The flipped classroom – overview The flipped classroom model takes its roots in the problem of absenteeism. In 2007 two high school teachers developed a model as a way out to instruct athlete students who were constantly missing the classes due to competitions (Hawks, 2014). Little did they know that the model would

The inverted classroom – The flipped classroom model began over 15 years ago in higher education and spread to k -12, it allows for more interactive learning in the classroom.
Learning Theory: Behaviorism is constructed upon stimulus-response actions and the way in which things learn from what is around them. It shows how the environment is something that can affect future actions of a being and how people develop habits of thinking and doing. Word Count:
The idea of every student fitting into one box is long gone in education. More and more schools and organizations are putting their efforts into providing individualized learning that will allow students to work at their own pace and achieve success. With this is the growing use of technology to achieve the goals of proficiency and to provide students with effective and engaging lessons to master content. Technology in education is continuing to grow each school year causing state and local school districts to form policies to support the effective and transformational use of technology and its impact in classroom instruction.
Flipped classroom is a way where students can learn at own pace. Without ridicule from their classmates it is a save environment for everyone. This program allows you to adapt to teaching easily, lectures, assignments, quizzes, and exams on this program you can utilize your class time with one on one chats. Getting to know your progress in the class asking questions or even building a relationship with your teacher/professor. “There are many things to praise about the concept of the flipped classroom. With positive results from many teachers and school districts throughout the country, there's no denying that the approach can (and has been) successful in certain cases” (Jenkins). Chelsea Jenkins states that in many countries and school districts have had their success stories. This program can help kids learn at their own pace with their own skills. Not having to worry about classmates knowing if their slower or faster with the task at hand. This is a way on how to make learning different. Using that word that doesn’t really blend in the mix of learning. I believe that this program can help us learn in a better and more comfortable matter. Another one of these programs could also be ABCmouse which helps the younger kids before being involved in the school systems. It’ll help them become prepared what will come, a bunch of learning games that tricks their young minds to learn but disguise it with games, fun songs, and colors. Parent say they love the program and see a big jump in their child’s
I choose to the flipped classroom, first thought you think it’s a classroom that has their class organization of furniture moved around, but that is not it at all. After reading about the flipped classroom, I found that it is a great aspect to assist students that can’t come to class daily. This sin my opinion enables students to be able to not be fall behind in their studies, should they become ill for any unforeseen reason. But after reading the article I found a great key to making sure the students are learning.
In addition, to keeping student’s attention the idea of the flipped classroom also lets students lead their learning. “When classroom instruction is lecture-based, students are taught to take guided notes. A disadvantage here is that some students write faster than
Behaviorism is a theory mostly developed by B.F. Skinner. Three basic assumptions are held to be true. Learning is manifested by the change in behavior, the environment shapes behavior and the reinforcement essential in explaining the process of learning. For behaviorism learning
The human mind is constantly learning and absorbing knowledge from different experiences throughout life. People understand and learn in different ways and paces, including education because there is a variety of ways students can interpret what is being taught. The flipped classroom is one of the ways students can get information differently from what they experience in a modern day classroom. The flipped classroom allows the teacher to give their lessons to the students at home through the computer and the students can do their homework in the actual classroom. This allows for students to work at their own leisure and not disturb the flow of the class for anyone else. The flipped classroom should be seen as a
Behaviorism focuses on behaviors and not cognitive or abstract activities. It involves thinking, remembering and problem solving. Additionally, behaviorism relies on expressed, measureable behaviors and the repeat stimuli that cause behaviors. Students respond to the conditions in the environment. Therefore, knowledge is given and absolute. Learning occurs when students are able to provide the proper response to the given stimulus. The methods used by the teacher are the use of instructional cues, reinforcement (both positive and negatively) and practice. When this learning theory is used, the students learn basic skills before moving on to more difficult skills. The role of the teacher in the behaviorism approach is to be the transmitter of the knowledge. He/she is the expert that knows the material. The
Constructivism is a learning theory describing the process of knowledge construction (Major & Mangope 2012:139). Borich and Tombari (2004 as cited in Booyse, 2010:10) described constructivism as an approach to learning in which learners are provided with the “opportunity to construct their own sense of what is being learned by building internal connections or relationships among the ideas and facts being taught. Therefore constructivism is based on a learner’s own construction of knowledge. Learners use their prior knowledge to make sense of new information by relating them together (Stavredes, 2011).
Aaron Sanns and Jonathan Bergman are the first two teachers who use flipped classroom, they provide supplying absent students with an online lecture they could watch from home or from anywhere they had access to a computer and internet including school or local library. They find
In its most general sense, Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning developing as a result of the propositions and beliefs shared by a group of people who has influenced educators’ view of learning. The term behavioral psychology refers to a psychological approach which principally concerned with stimulus-response activities and emphasizes the role of environmental factors in a learning process, to the exclusion of own free will. There is a tenet of behavioral psychology that “only observable, measurable, an outward behavior is worth investigating” (Bush, 2006, p. 14). Historically speaking, behaviorism was originated in the 1880s and develops gradually in the twentieth-first century and beyond. Skinner and Watson were categorically the two major behaviorist
Learning in classrooms has now become more hands on. It is creating a way for students to
Great facilitators’ implement effective learning by introducing and perfecting different instructional lessons to meet the emotional, social, and academic needs of all their students. Research into teaching practices allows educators to customize learning for every one of their students. Today’s classrooms, students work both independently and in groups to demonstrate what they have learned. Learners now have choices over how they summarize their understanding of the lesson material. The teacher paces the lesson based on the students understanding and needs, providing appropriate learning experiences for different learners providing a path to reach all learners in the most effective way. This paper will explore ‘Cooperative Learning’, ‘Learning by Teaching’, and ‘Flipped Classroom’ as just a few of the numerous ways educators can explore new and effective forms of disseminating educational material and instruction.
