The Flipped Classroom Model

Decent Essays
The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model where the classroom lecture and homework components of a course are switched. Short video lectures are reviewed by students for homework before the class session, while classroom time is spent working on exercises, projects, or discussions with teacher assistance. The video lectures can be created by the instructor and posted online or selected from an online achieve.

The potential academic advancement of the flipped classroom model has led me to this research question: How will the flipped classroom model of instruction, in my 8th grade language arts classroom, affect student achievement in the area of grammar instruction?

    In the article ‘Why Kids Can’t Write’, Dana Goldstein, an education writer for The New York Times, reports on how teachers are avoiding basic grammar and writing skills in the classroom and how some teachers are going to do to change that. Judith C. Hochman, Founder of an organization called the Writing Revolution, displayed examples of students work. She says, “It all starts with a sentence.” Hochman focuses on the fundamentals of grammar but many educators are less concerned with sentence-level mechanics and more concerned about children drawing inspiration from their own lives for their writing.

    Can college lectures actually be discriminating against you? Well it might be, according to Anne Murphy Paul, if you are a not a white privileged male. In Paul’s article “Are College Lectures Unfair?” she discusses studies that have shown college lectures to be very biased towards a particular group of students such as, women, minorities, low-income, and first generation college students. Instead of a professor giving the typical structured lecture, he or she should try active learning; a style where students are more engaged with the instructor and the information given in class.…

    As soon as one graduates from high-school and moves on to attend a College or University, students will eventually get the taste of a college level course. When moving onto college, students must be enrolled in an English class. Whether it is remedial or a college level, they must take it.

    Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…
