Dr. Alpha Lokhande
Flipclass (Flipped Classroom)
Description: In a flipped classroom, traditional teaching methods are inverted. Instead of receiving instruction in class and doing exercises at home, students first explore the subject matter at home, often through videos or reading materials. They then engage in deeper, hands-on activities during class time, which can include discussions, problem-solving, or group work.
Application: Dr. Lokhande used this method by having students engage in reverse session conduction, where they took turns leading discussions or teaching sessions. This approach helps students to review and solidify their understanding of the material before class and apply what they have learned in a practical setting during class.
Benefits: This method encourages active learning, critical thinking, and self-directed study. It also allows students to engage more deeply with the material and gain confidence in their understanding by teaching it to others.
