Strategies for the Successful Incorporation of the Flipped Classroom in Orthodox Classrooms: A Critical Review

Abstract

The flipped classroom model has evolved as a disruptive educational strategy that redefines conventional teaching by relocating direct instruction to the pre-class phase and prioritising interactive, learner-centred activities during class time. Nonetheless, the effective incorporation of this paradigm in traditional classrooms necessitates meticulous preparation and implementation.  This paper examines critical methods necessary for the successful deployment of the flipped model. Initially, explicitly establishing learning objectives facilitates the alignment of material delivery with anticipated outcomes. Secondly, choosing suitable information for flipping guarantees relevancy and student involvement. Third, the creation of dynamic and significant in-class activities improves understanding and application. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are essential for material distribution, monitoring student participation, and ensuring consistent communication.  It is essential to establish effective time allocation between pre-class and in-class activities to prevent cognitive overload. Assessing student readiness enables educators to modify classroom activities and provide prompt assistance. Differentiated education addresses varied learning requirements, therefore fostering inclusion. Ongoing feedback acquisition and curriculum modification provide educational pertinence and adaptability. The incremental training of students in flipped learning approaches diminishes resistance and facilitates transfer. Ultimately, integrating formative and summative tests guarantees comprehensive evaluation. This conceptual research emphasises 10 interrelated tactics as essential for the effective integration of the flipped classroom method into conventional educational environments. By emphasising deliberate design and ongoing enhancement, educators may reconcile traditional and flipped pedagogies to promote profound learning, active participation, and enhanced academic results.
