Key Takeaways
- In traditional classes, students learn through in-class lecture and apply the content by themselves on homework assignments outside of class. Flipping a class reverses this, moving content acquisition outside of class and moving the application of content into the classroom where students can inquire about lecture content, test their skills in applying knowledge, and interact with one another in hands-on activities.
- In the flipped classroom model implemented in the Group Dynamics course at Conestoga College, students plan the lesson and find ways to engage one another in the lesson through hands-on activities and tasks while instructors observe and provide feedback on what students did well and what they need to work on.
- In the Group Dynamics Course students are put into five teams. They undertake team-specific roles as well as individual roles both in and outside the classroom to fulfill their learning requirements.
- By working as part of a team and by fulfilling their individual roles within each team, students learn valuable interpersonal and personal skills that help them acquire expertise that is valued in the workplace.
