Student Centered Learning - Flipped Classroom as Teacher

There is a large development in the Educational process "flipped class room ", where the students are more involved in this process and the teachers plays a different new roles.

So let us go in  depth and discuss the pros and cons of this development and try to resolve problems

v Advantages:

    Using  Educational Technology such as the PowerPoint, multimedia helps a lot in :

ü Captures student's attention.

ü Facilitate the process of conveying information to students

ü Illustrate concepts.

ü Using the smart board encourage students to participate in teacher – student dialogue which make students thinking more visible to the teacher to make sure and accommodate the arrival of information to the students.

ü Asking the students to prepare a short presentation using High-Tech equipments , which will allow the students to make choices about how to display information / data .

ü Submitting assignments and projects through online delivery to encourage the students to use computers.

    Creating an interactive and warm atmosphere between the classroom members is an essential thing in the educational process by :

ü Asking open-ended questions and using opened up time for discussion will give the opportunity to students to express their own opinions and teach them how to accept other students' opinions.

ü Dividing the students into groups to create a spirit of cooperation and participation in discussion and analysis of tasks assigned to the students.

v Disadvantages :

    Teachers need additional time to prepare the lessons which needs High-Tech equipments.

    Due to financial circumstances each school has only one Smart board which makes it unavailable at all the times.

    There are number of students who don’t have computers at home, so it's prevent them to interact with the teacher and other students.

    Having open discussion in group working will waste a lot of time.

v Solve this problem :

  Exchange other teachers experience in time management.

  In case of unavailability of the smart board we can use other equipments such as data show and projectors.

  Arranging outdoor activities to avoid waste of the lesson time.

  Ask the students which don’t have computer at home to use school libraries and computers to make their assignments.
