Flipped Classroom and Authentic learning

Introduction

Flipped Classroom

Flipping the classroom is a “pedagogy-first” approach to teaching. In this approach in-class time is “re-purposed” for inquiry, application, and assessment in order to better meet the needs of individual learners. Students gain control of the learning process through studying course material outside of class, using readings, pre-recorded video lectures, or research assignments. During class time, instructors facilitate the learning process by helping students work through course material individually and in groups.

Authentic Learning

Authentic learning means learning which happens by actually participating and working on real-world problems, it engages learners by the opportunities of solving real-world complex problems and finding out solutions, in this way learners practice the skills and knowledge that are relevant and real to workplace situations and learn it at the same time. Authentic learning activities include role-playing exercises, problem based activities, case studies, and participation in virtual communities of practice.

The learning environment of authentic learning is multidisciplinary in nature, for example: designing a container for specific purpose, setting rules, planning a budget, and solving a crisis.
