The flipped classroom is a modern teaching method where students first study the lesson content at home (often through videos or readings) and then engage in interactive activities, discussions, or problem-solving in class. This approach shifts the traditional learning model and has both strengths and challenges.
One of the biggest advantages I observed is active student participation during class. Since students come prepared, class time becomes more focused on applying knowledge rather than passively receiving it. It also supports peer learning and allows the teacher to give more personalized help.
However, this method requires self-discipline and motivation from students. If students do not review the material at home, they may struggle to participate effectively in class. Also, not all students may have equal access to technology or internet.
Overall, the flipped classroom encourages deeper learning, critical thinking, and collaboration, making it a powerful tool when implemented with proper support and planning.
