FLIPPED CLASSROOM: A WAY TO TRANSFORM THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract Integrating technology in education, specifically multimedia fosters educators to create blended learning environments and leverage innovative digitalized tools for formative and summative assessments. Flipped classroom is one such kind of pedagogical approach in which a dynamic learning environment is created in a classroom where the teachers act as mentors or facilitators to guide the students in applying concepts. To put it in another way, flipped classroom learning ensures that learners are actively engaged in the teaching-learning process in contrast to traditional classroom learning. In inverted classroom learning, before classroom instruction students complete the lower level of cognitive work. During classroom instruction, learners engage with peers and teachers which gradually helps them to develop higher-order thinking abilities. In this paper, the author attempts to construe flipped learning as a constructive approach with the help of a theoretical framework. Also, sheds light on the effectiveness and the pedagogical practices of the flipped classroom by reviewing the research works
