Option 2 : Students watch a video about writing styles at home and in their next class identify which texts shared by the teacher belong to each style.
There are various approaches to delivering instructions. These approaches define the teacher’s/institution’s role in delivering instructions. Traditionally single medium, multimedia or multiple media are used for delivering instructions as a one-way delivery of content from teacher/institution to learners.
- Now, advanced technology facilitates interactions and delivery of courseware using such technologies can integrate the delivery of courseware and interactions. Thus the approach to delivery of courseware is shifting from the traditional paradigm of delivering instructions as broadcast to interactive ones
Flipped Learning:
- Flipped classrooms flip (toss/turn over) the activities carried out for learning. In flipped classrooms delivery of instructions within classrooms allows self-learning.
- Watching a video about writing styles at home and then identifying which texts shared by the teacher belong to each style is the best example of flipped approach as it involves a type of pedagogy that requires that learners asynchronously use resources for self-learning before they come to the classroom.
- After that, they participate in active learning processes involving assignments, projects requiring problem-solving, and the like within classrooms.
- Usually, learners watch short-duration videos before coming to the class. The video is chosen with care so that the content prepares learners for classroom activities and is appropriate for self-learning.
- At the same time classroom activity is chosen as per the homework assigned, i.e. the content learners have learned on their own. Flipped classrooms are thus a way for enhancing learners’ readiness for instructions delivered in the classroom.
- However, it is not essential that a classroom is flipped using only videos. Learners may read a book/paper. For instance, learners may be asked to read books and the classroom activity may be a group discussion with participants reviewing/critiquing the book.
From the above points, we can conclude that Students watch a video about writing styles at home and in their next class identify which texts shared by the teacher belong to each style is the BEST example of the 'flipped classroom approach' to teach about different writing styles.
