Giờ học đảo ngược: Hướng dẫn dành cho cơ sở giáo dục đại học
Flipped learning is an approach to the design and instruction of classes through which, with appropriate guidance, students gain their first exposure to new concepts and material prior to class, thus freeing up time during class for the activities where students typically need the most help, such as applications of the basic material and engaging in deeper discussions and creative work with it.
While flipped learning has generated a great deal of excitement, given the evidence demonstrating its potential to transform students’ learning, engagement and metacognitive skills, there has up to now been no comprehensive guide to using this teaching approach in higher education.
Robert Talbert, who has close to a decade’s experience using flipped learning for majors in his discipline, in general education courses, in large and small sections, as well as online courses – and is a frequent workshop presenter and speaker on the topic – offers faculty a practical, step-by-step, “how-to” to this powerful teaching method.
He addresses readers who want to explore this approach to teaching, those who have recently embarked on it, as well as experienced practitioners, balancing an account of research on flipped learning and its theoretical bases, with course design concepts to guide them set up courses to use flipped learning effectively, tips and case studies of actual classes across various disciplines, and practical considerations such as obtaining buy-in from students, and getting students to do the pre-class activities.
This book is for anyone seeking ways to get students to better learn the content of their course, take more responsibility for their work, become more self-regulated as learners, work harder and smarter during class time, and engage positively with course material. As a teaching method, flipped learning becomes demonstrably more powerful when adopted across departments. It is an idea that offers the promise of transforming teaching in higher education.

Talbert offers thoroughly researched historical, theoretical, and most importantly, practical strategies and reasons for turning your college course into a Flipped Learning environment. Flipped Learning is not simply about reversing lecture and homework, but agreeing with the ideas of Group Space and Individual Space. With the growing presence of online and hybrid courses at universities and community colleges, Flipped Learning provides structures for ideal active learning in group spaces. Talbert is extremely passionate about all worlds that an instructor may encounter by choosing to adopt a Flipped Learning attitude, such as avenues for scholarship, service, and how to deal with contrarian students and faculty.

I'm still a little confused as to how to flip most of the classes that I intend to teach. Generally there aren't going to be many activities.
