INTRODUCTION
Problem Definition
1. This research study is about effective strategies used in a flipped classroom. It is necessary for research on this topic because it is more common for a classroom teacher to have a constructivist approach in their classroom. It is important to determine strategies that are beneficial in implementing a flipped classroom because it is an instructional method teachers could use in the classroom. My questions in this study are what flipped classroom strategies improve academic performance? What flipped classroom strategies do students find most effective? These questions will be used in determining the effective strategies. According to one of the studies, MacKinnon stated, “The mean score the first year

Abstract. This study addresses the quantitative investigation into the satisfaction of the students in a flipped classroom and the correlation between their percent grades in the class. The study was comparing two classrooms. One class was taught the traditional way, and the other section was a flipped classroom. The professor described setting up his flipped classroom in 25 sections into multiple videos, typically about three or four videos per section. This allowed the videos to be 15 minutes a piece and broken up for the students to be able to easily watch them again. The report contains results of surveys the students took throughout the semester on how they feel the flipped classroom is benefiting their understanding of the material. There were five surveys given throughout the one

Abstract. This qualitative study addresses the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach and the skills that the students gains from their particular learning style. Students participated in an interview with questions about how they effective they thought the flipped classroom approach. The study states the questions and some of the responses of those questions. The key points and patterns were determined and they are as follows: self-regulated learning, problem-solving skills, teamwork and communication skills, enjoyment, and creativity. The interviewee’s names are not disclosed, but their major is described. The interviews were given after a semester long flipped classroom course in a collegiate classroom.

In the article Should Colleges Really Eliminate the College Lecture? by Christine Gross-Loh, Loh discusses the relevance of traditional college lectures and how it could become obsolete in the near future. She explains how a “flipped classroom” could be more beneficial in terms of academics and show improvements in students learning abilities.

This book was an easy read for anybody in the educational field, because of its explanations of the strategies and how teachers can use these strategies in their classroom with minimal effort. Most of the strategies allow the teacher to be an observer to student learning, allowing the students the opportunity to lead their own group discoveries and discussions, which is paramount to high level education. Most of the examples given in the book are strategies that most teacher do on a daily basis, but it shows the readers how that strategy better unlocks the state standards for the students. The book also uses examples in all subject areas in education, so teachers of Math and English can relate the strategies to their own class. The book also pushes t...
According to the Flipped Network, “Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter”(FLN, 2014). The Flipped Classroom is also known as inverting the classroom, which means that the events that usually take place in this defined by classroom will now take place outside the classroom and vise versa. Teachers can have students use the plethora of technologies to assist the students by having access to lectures, video presentations, and other materials
Education in the United States has changed over the last 60 years. It started with President Eisenhower making sure Brown v. Board of Education was enforced. Next, the National Defense Education Act in 1858 was passed to improve math and science. In 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act was passed to help the poor succeed in school. Finally, in 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child left Behind Act (NCLB) (Robbins & Alvy, 2009, pg. 7). The NCLB change the way schools look at student achievement. One of the biggest changes was all teachers and schools are held accountable for student learning (Robbins & Alvy, 2009, pg. 7). Schools are now graded and labeled. Teachers and schools must close the achievement gap among the different groups of students (Robbins & Alvy, 2009, pg. 7). High-stakes tests measure schools, district, and student’s success (Robbins & Alvy, 2009, pg. 7). NCLB has made schools look at better ways to teach students. Schools have turned to using research based teaching practices. Schools are now using data to guide instruction. How does a school effectively assess students to increases student achievement? How does a school use this data to guide curriculum development? This paper will look at the importance of assessment in P-12 schools to improve student achievement. In this paper a critical analysis of backward design and its effect on student achievement. A critical analysis of fact-based practices that teacher can use now to improve student achievement will be discussed. Finally, a discussion of the challenges a teachers will face when creating a culture of learning.
Technology has changed our world dramatically over the last several decades. Several generations before us did not have air conditioning, telephones, television much less internet. However, today we have access to all of this and more. Technological advances have not only made changes in how we communicate, but also in how everyday tasks are done. The New York Times explains how social media affects children’s behavior and academics, and how the concept of dating has been altered while Louis C. K. explains how the 21st century takes little things for granted and YouTube channel charstarlineTV shows how daily activities can no longer be done without the use of cellphones.
Through exploring multiple learning theories and reflecting on my own teaching beliefs, I have developed my own theory of learning. As I developed my theory, I wanted to consider what it takes to be a highly effective teacher. An effective teacher must have mastery of instructional strategies, classroom management, classroom curriculum design, and use assessments as feedback (Laureate Education, 2010a). By using a variety of instructional strategies, teacher’s can meet the learning styles of all the students in the classroom. Effective classroom management can lead to students feeling safe and more willing to take risks. When a student feels comfortable to take risk, then learning will increase and the students’ confidence will grow. Classroom management also creates order in the environment, which will allow effective learning to occur. By understanding curriculum, the teacher can target skills and causes learning to take place. Teachers need to deliberately plan lessons around standards and specific goals based on curriculum and the school’s mission (Marzano, 2010). Assessments need to be use to guide instruction and used as a “method for improvement and mastery,” (Marzano, 2010). While determining my own theory of learning, I believe that I need to consider what effective teachers demonstrate in the classroom.

It acts as a compass for curriculum creativity, student evaluation, and instructional practices.
During the ITEC 7445 Multimedia and Web Design course, I created a WebQuest that demonstrates my ability to develop, model and facilitate the use of online and blended learning. The Multimedia Design Project artifact is a blended learning project that includes face-to-face instruction as well as web-based online learning. In my ITEC 7460 Professional Learning & Technology Innovation course, I was able to develop, model, and facilitate a professional development in which I was able to train teachers on how to implement Socrative.
Flipped learning involves leveraging e-learning technologies to provide students with content prior to the lesson so that in the group context more time can be spent in group activities (Johnson and Renner, 2012). This promotes a collaborative learning environment in the classroom (Jarvela, Volet and Jarvenoja, 2010, Stahl, 2012). The aim of flipped learning is to develop an active learning environment within the classroom without sacrificing the coverage of content (Strayer, 2007). The impact is to develop in the student active learning, social learning and creative learning skills (Miltbrandt, 2004).
The use of these learning theories and research based instructional strategies increases the probability of successful student learning within this instructional unit.
In a classroom, a teaching strategy is a generalized plan for a lesson which includes structure, instructional objectives and an outline of planned tactics, necessary to implement the strategies. Reece and Walker (2002) describe a teaching strategy as a combination of student activities supported by the use of appropriate resources to provide particular learning resources. It is that procedure by which new knowledge is fixed in the minds of students permanently. For this purpose, a teacher does extra activities in the class. These activities help the teacher to take shift from one strategy to another. A method of teaching on the other hand is directly related to the presentation of the lesson. The choice of the teaching method depe...
