The Flipped Classroom Model in ISLA.docVIP

The Flipped Classroom Model in ISLA 　　1. Introduction 　　The one who first carried out the researches on flipped classroom is a professor of physics at Harvard University， Eric Mazur. Intended to make learning much more energetic， he created the peer instruction in 1990s and this method so far has already experienced ten-year explorations. Eric Mazur thought that learning can be divided into two steps. First is the knowledge transmission and second is absorbing process. Traditional teaching paid much attention to the first step while neglecting the second step. According to researches， peer instruction method could accelerate the second step to double the accuracy. In 2000， Maureen Lage， Glenn Platt and Michael Treglia together published a paper about flipped classroom in Miami University when set up a course in economy. They talked about how to take full use of flipped classroom to activate teaching to adapt to different learning styles. In the 11th international teaching congress， J.Wesley Baker proposed that teachers should be the guiders instead of passers. In the autumn of 2000， The University of Wisconsin Madison formally applied flipped classroom in computer courses in which videos are put online to allow students watch at their breaks. This method also allows students to solve problems with teachers in the class in order to increase the communication between teachers and students. In 2007， Jeremy Strayer wrote his doctoral thesis about flipped classroom which talked about the arrangement conditions of flipped classroom in universities. A young man called Salman Khan unintentionally launched a revolution when he tutored his sister after he put some video resources for study online. Now flipped teaching model has been popular in many countries in academic circle. 　　2.
