"Flipping a classroom" means the instructor uses class time for problem-solving, analysis, and discussion, after students have first learned basic concepts outside of class via reading or lecture videos.

How to Flip a Classroom

  • Typically, flipping involves three critical steps:
  1. Students learn basic concepts before the class meeting using those concepts. Instructors of flipped classrooms often provide students with videos to watch as part of their preparation.
  2. Instructors quiz students on these concepts right before class.
  3. Instructors and students spend class time using the concepts in problems and analyses.
  • Economics-specific guides to flipping the classroom will be posted soon!

Evidence

Examples

  • Dr. Jose J. Vazquez Cognet (Clinical Professor, Department of Economics, and Coordinator of E-Learning, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is "currently running two studies on Flipping the Classroom; one field experiment using my large principles of economics course; and also a clinical study (randomized control trial study)." He is trying to replicate some of the findings from Physics courses.
