Abstract:

The Flipped Classroom is a model that inverts the teaching-learning activities, bringing “the classroom to the home and the home to the classroom”. Current literature focuses on the technologies used in the flipped classroom, and its general comparison with the traditional face-to-face and online classroom models. This article aims to complement this literature, with a pedagogical understanding of what variables could increase student engagement and learning in these models.
The discussion presented begins with a review of the current literature on flipped classroom design, the conceptual differences from the Flipped Learning and Flipped Classroom models, factors and specific resources that can affect student motivation and teacher activeness. Finally, a new Flipped Classroom model is suggested with a focus on student engagement.
