Award in the Flipped Classroom
This module critically investigates the underpinning pedagogical approaches to help educators make the shift to the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom approach, which is a type of blended learning, empowers learners to critically think about a particular area of study and engage in selfdirected learning giving them the opportunity to engage with the content and in further research to increase their knowledge before in-class activities. Course participants will systematically familiarise themselves with the strategies entailed to flip their classroom by availing themselves of different digital technologies and help learners take ownership of their own learning and be actively involved in the learning process.
Applicants interested in following this programme are to satisfy the minimum eligibility criteria:
• An awarded MATSEC Certificate (MQF Level 4), or equivalent;
OR
• An MQF Level 4 qualification with a minimum of 120 ECTS, or equivalent;
OR
• Three subjects at Advanced Level (MQF 4)
By the end of this module, the learner will be able to:
a) critically evaluate literature focusing on innovative pedagogical strategies to flip the traditional classroom;
b) implement technology enhanced learning strategies in context within the flipped classroom framework;
c) evaluate prior professional practices and conduct a curriculum mapping process to flip the classroom.
d) create digital artefacts to support students participating in the flipped classroom.
e) nurture 21st century competences within the flipped classroom framework through peerlearning, collaboration, self-reflection and presentation.
a) propose and evaluate a range of digital tools to be able to make the shift towards the flipped classroom;
b) identify adequate learning strategies to support learners in the online environment while creating digital artefacts;
c) outline the affordances of the different digital tools covered during this module with learners to help them flip their classroom;
a) Plan and implement change to adopt a flipped classroom approach;
b) assess the appropriate digital tools to successfully flip the classroom to enhance the teaching and learning process and/or assessment;
c) engage in a curriculum mapping process encompassing different learning strategies catering for different learning contexts; engage learners in active learning to create new digital artefacts from the acquired knowledge.
This module will be taught by using both synchronous and asynchronous methods of teaching, including flipped classroom concept, through the IfE portal and its tools and will be fully online. Asynchronous discussions and peer learning will be utilised to encourage critical thinking and reflective practice. The Institute for Education’s guideline policies for Teaching, Learning and Assessment may be accessed on its website www.ife.gov.mt.
