Abstract:

Now the teaching methodologies that is getting the most attention is Flipped Learning. The reason being that it is an alternative way to teach and share knowledge.

However, within the community of educators there are difference of opinion about the method. Some have embraced it while others have dismissed it all together. The method has its strength but exploring whether or what weaknesses it might have is of a greater interest to me.
More specifically, it has generated a great deal of interest within higher education. This interest has led to the question, how effective Flipped learning is as a way of communication knowledge within higher education, compared to traditional teaching methodology?.

In the presentation, an introduction will be given on the results of a survey conducted at the School of Education at the University of Iceland, where the method of flipped learning was tested. More specifically the research looked at how effective flipped learning is from the perspective of the students. A group of students taking the same course three years apart were asked to grade the teaching methods and give comments on their experience of the two teaching formats. The 2012 class were taught using traditional method of teaching whilst the 2015 class used flipped learning. The results of the survey will be presented, giving the perspective of the students, comparing the method of flipped learning to the traditional methodology.
