| Title: The flipped or inverted teaching/learning model in STEM higher education | |
| Abstract: The instruction of STEM has been focused on cognitive factors, using instruction methodologies consisting of the transmission of knowledge mostly through lectures, complemented with laboratory and practical activities in the best case-scenarios.However, numerous studies have already pointed out that this teaching methodology, by itself, is not the most adequate to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes, it is still widely used in higher education classroom. Undoubtedly, one of the main actions to be carried out is the higher educational field, promoting methods of instruction that facilitate the development of STEM competencies and create a favorable affective dimension towards STEM. The flipped or inverted instruction methodology is a teaching/learning method in which the traditional classroom setting is flipped/inverted. With this methodology, lectures are provided outside of the classroom, and therefore the in-class time are used to complete students-centered learning activities such as solving problems/case studies, discussions and collaborative activities. So, flipping the classes promotes a more effective learning since it manages to involve students more effectively in the teaching/learning process in cognitive and affective dimension, thus achieving better their outcomes and performances. Therefore, the flipped learning model can draw a promising inclination in STEM higher education, especially students’ outcomes, cognitive and affective dimension. It will finally provide to completely set and frame this relatively new teaching/learning methodology. | |
