Orienting Students to Flipped Learning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Flipping the College Classroom

Abstract

Flipped learning is new to most students, and it generally takes time to adjust to the pedagogy. Five factors affect a student’s readiness for the flipped classroom: perceptions of workload, attitude toward active learning, relevant educational experience, metacognitive skills, and comfort with technology. To help all students benefit from flipped learning at the earliest stages of the class, an orientation is proposed that reduces the potential negative impact of each of these factors. Special advice is provided for first-year students, students inexperienced with flipped learning, and low-performing students, who may need extra support to fully benefit from the pedagogy.
