Flipped classroom ed apprendimento: un'esperienza di attività propedeutica nella scuola secondaria di primo grado

La Flipped Classroom è una metodologia didattica innovativa che prevede una inversione dei momenti classici delle didattica: la lezione frontale a scuola e lo studio individuale a casa. L’idea alla base della Flipped Classroom è utilizzare la tecnologia moderna per diffondere i contenuti fuori dall’orario scolastico così da concentrare poi le ore di lezione sull’elaborazione dei contenuti stessi. In questo modo si riporta l’attenzione didattica sull’elaborazione dei contenuti piuttosto che sul loro ascolto passivo. A seguito dello studio teorico del metodo Flipped ho fatto una esperienza di tirocinio presso una classe terza della Scuola secondaria di primo grado "`Il Guercino"' dell'IC9, in collaborazione con la professoressa Leone, per applicare questa metodologia didattica. Una volta in classe, io e la professoressa, abbiamo considerato più efficace e utile, per gli studenti con cui lavoravamo, fare propedeutica piuttosto che Flipped Classroom. L’esperienza di tirocinio è stata conclusa con un questionario per valutare l’utilizzo, da parte dei nostri studenti, della piattaforma didattica Moodle, in uso nella scuola. I risultati dell’analisi delle risposte è stato conforme a quanto da noi atteso: data l’età i nostri studenti non avevano il giusto grado di autonomia per lavorare con la metodologia della Flipped Classroom.

Flipped classroom. Illustrazione del modello di insegnamento e resoconto di un'esperienza didattica

Questa tesi illustra approfonditamente il modello Flipped Classroom esponendo i nuovi ruoli rivestiti da insegnante e studente durante la prima inversione didattica, oltre che le numerose strategie attuabili nel corso del secondo momento pratico in aula, e le trasformazioni apportate dal metodo nell'ambito della valutazione scolastica. Infine, è presente un resoconto dettagliato della sperimentazione del modello Flipped Classroom che ho attuato personalmente presso una scuola secondaria di secondo grado, riportando inoltre le opinioni degli studenti delle due classi che ne hanno preso parte.

Parla come mangi! Il burocratese nella classe di italiano LS

In questo TFM affronteremo un argomento di grande attualità le cui radici risalgono, però, a un passato ben più remoto: la questione del burocratese, termine con accezione negativa coniato in tempi relativamente recenti per descrivere lo stile comunicativo della pubblica amministrazione che, lungi dal restare confinato in un ambito specialistico della comunicazione, pervade ormai ogni sfera della vita quotidiana, rendendola sempre più complessa in un momento storico delicato dove l’equivoco è dietro l’angolo e spesso cela non pochi pericoli. Il presente lavoro si divide sostanzialmente in due parti. Nella prima, tracceremo una premessa teorica toccando le seguenti tematiche: il ruolo del/la docente di italiano LS (con particolare attenzione all’insegnamento agli adulti), le motivazioni scientifiche e personali che stanno alla base della scelta di questo argomento per un TFM, un breve ripasso delle principali tappe che hanno definito il dibattito sulla questione linguistica in Italia, le caratteristiche linguistiche e testuali del linguaggio burocratico amministrativo e un breve excursus sulle direttive e suggerimenti per la sua semplificazione. Nella seconda parte del lavoro (dal capitolo 3) sarà presentata in dettaglio l’unità didattica dal titolo Parla come mangi!, messa in pratica con un gruppo di studenti e studentesse di italiano di nivel avanzado 1 (B2 del QCER) della Escuela Oficial de Idiomas di Alcorcón, nell’ambito del tirocinio propedeutico all’ottenimento del titolo di Máster en formación del Profesorado de ESO, Bachillerato, FP y enseñanzas de idiomas. L’obiettivo finale delle attività proposte è stato quello di permettere alla classe di familiarizzare con le strutture lessicali, morfosintattiche e testuali del burocratese. Attraverso attività disegnate per il coinvolgimento delle quattro abilità fondamentali e suddivise in tre grandi categorie (pubblica amministrazione, trasporti e comunicazione formale scritta), gli alunni e le alunne hanno messo alla prova e migliorato la propria competenza sociolinguistica in contesti dove l’eccessiva formalità spesso mette in difficoltà gli/le stessi/e nativi/e.

But how do we know they watched it? Adapting to the flipped classroom conundrum

Those who teach film and media need to use screen content to illustrate their subjects. For example, students want illustrations to accompany lectures on film or television genres. Our experience has been that student access to the film and television screen content underpinning a study of genres is not only desirable but is, in fact, crucial for effective teaching and learning outcomes. Not so long ago, a screening during or at the completion of a lecture was the expected method by which educators delivered screen content to illustrate their teaching. Even if student attendance fluctuated from week to week a quick head count confirmed that a certain number of students were physically present. It was assumed that this physical attendance encouraged students to reflect upon and contextualize the material post lecture. While simply attending a lecture will not translate into actual student learning, it does demonstrate a willingness by students to engage with the course content by making a commitment to attend a scheduled and recurring lecture and screening program. However, as flipped classroom models gain acceptance in educational institutions, this traditional lecture-screening model is giving way to online, off-site, and student-controlled mechanisms for screen content delivery and viewing. Nevertheless, care should be taken when assessing how online delivery translates into student engagement and learning. As Junco (2012) points out, “it’s not the technology that generates learning, but the ways in which the technology are used.” Discussed, debated, and embraced to varying degrees by educators, there remains no definitive model for the flipped classroom – although many models involve ‘flipping’ content and knowledge acquisition (including viewing films and television shows) from scheduled on-campus classes to online material viewed by students in advance of an on-campus lecture or class. The classroom or tutorial room then becomes a space to problem-solve, engage in collaborate learning, and advance and explain concepts. From an institutional perspective, the flipped classroom model could deliver an additional benefit beyond immediate pedagogical concerns. Tucker (2012) suggests through the flipped classroom model “all aspects of instruction can be rethought to best maximize the scarcest learning resource — time.” The narrative most often associated with this shift is that the move to online content delivery of lecture and cinematic / televisual material may also provide educators with more time to do other work such as engage in research, plan strategies to empower students. Experimentation with the flipped classroom model is playing out in various educational institutions. Yet several core concerns remain — one of these concerns is the crucial question of whether an online/digital flipped approach is more effective for student engagement and learning than the traditional lecture-screening mode for screen content delivery. Some urge caution in this regard, arguing that “new technology isn’t always supported by change management and professional development to ensure that digital isn’t just a goal within itself, but actually helps to transform education” (Fleming cited in Blain 2014). The most fundamental concern remains how do lecturers, instructors, and tutors know students have watched the films and television shows associated with a subject? The remainder of this discussion deals with these concerns, and possible solutions offered, through an analysis of the Film, Television and Screen Genres subject at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Queensland.

This presentation will report on a cross-department collaboration between the library and the business/economics department at Lehman College to conduct information literacy instruction as a “flipped classroom.”

Flipped classroom and learning strategies

This paper seeks to answer the research question "How does the flipped classroom affect students’ learning strategies?" In e-learning research, several studies have focused on how students and teachers perceive the flipped classroom approach. In general, these studies have reported pleasing results. Nonetheless, few, if any, studies have attempted to find out the potential effects of the flipped classroom approach on how students learn. This study was based on two cases: 1) a business modelling course and 2) a research methodology course. In both cases, participating students were from information systems courses at Dalarna University in Sweden. Recorded lectures replaced regular lectures. The recorded lectures were followed by seminars that focused on the learning content of each lecture in various ways. Three weeks after the final seminar, we arranged for two focus group interviews to take place in each course, with 8 to 10 students participating in each group. We asked open questions on how the students thought they had been affected and more dedicated questions that were generated from a literature study on the effects of flipped classroom courses. These questions dealt with issues about mobility, the potential for repeating lectures, formative feedback, the role of seminars, responsibility, empowerment, lectures before seminars, and any problems encountered. Our results show that, in general, students thought differently about learning after the courses in relation to more traditional approaches, especially regarding the need to be more active. Most students enjoyed the mobility aspect and the accessibility of recorded lectures, although a few claimed it demanded a more disciplined attitude. Most students also expressed a feeling of increased activity and responsibility when participating in seminars. Some even felt empowered because they could influence seminar content. The length of and possibility to navigate in recorded lectures was also considered important. The arrangement of the seminar rooms should promote face-to-face discussions. Finally, the types of questions and tasks were found to affect the outcomes of the seminars. The overall conclusion with regard to students’ learning strategies is that to be an active, responsible, empowered, and critical student you have to be an informed student with possibilities and mandate to influence how, where and when to learn and be able to receive continuous feedback during the learning process. Flipped classroom can support such learning.

Motivation and cognitive load in the flipped classroom : definition, rationale and a call for research

Flipped classroom approaches remove the traditional transmissive lecture and replace it with active in-class tasks and pre-/post-class work. Despite the popularity of these approaches in the media, Google search, and casual hallway chats, there is very little evidence of effectiveness or consistency in understanding what a flipped classroom actually is. Although the flipped terminology is new, some of the approaches being labelled ‘flipped’ are actually much older. In this paper, we provide a catch-all definition for the flipped classroom, and attempt to retrofit it with a pedagogical rationale, which we articulate through six testable propositions. These propositions provide a potential agenda for research about flipped approaches and form the structure of our investigation. We construct a theoretical argument that flipped approaches might improve student motivation and help manage cognitive load. We conclude with a call for more specific types of research into the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach.

Competencias digitales docentes para el desarrollo de la intercreatividad de las redes y flipped classroom con tecnologías móviles

[ES]A pesar del crecimiento constante y el asentamiento del e-learning como alternativa a algunas formas de educación presencial, existen aún áreas de investigación que pueden suponer avances importantes, según el informe horizon de 2015, entre ellas destacamos el BYOD y la Flipped clasroom la cual la hemos implementado a través del uso de las redes sociales y otros elementos del ecosistema digital, entre los que destacamos el protagonismo de las tecnologías móviles. En nuestro trabajo analizamos la combinación de estrategias y de metodologías activas e inductivas que permiten el desarrollo de habilidades y competencias digitales en donde las redes mediadas en entornos de ubicuidad, pueden convertirse en parte de la transformación educativa, ya que suponen un espacio colaborativo además de poder optimizar la dinámica de clase en la universidad.

Complessi tetrazolici di Re(I): design e preparazione di una nuova classe di probes luminescenti

In this experimental work we report the design, the synthesis and characterization of a new class of Re(I) complexes of the general formula fac-[Re(CO)3(N^N)(2-QTZ)], where N^N = 2,2’ bipyridine or 1,10 phenantroline, whereas 2-QTZ is the anion 2-quinolyl-tetrazolate. The complexes and, in particular, the tetrazolate ligand 2-QTZ were designed in order to investigate their specific interaction with biologically and toxicologically relevant metal ions, as Zn(II), Cd(II) e Cu(II). The addition of such ions led to substantial variations of the photophysical properties of these complexes, suggesting their application as luminescent sensors. The photophysical performance of the complexes proved to remain unchanged inside cellular substrates, as Yarrowia Lipolytica cultures. Within these yeasts, the complexes show unchanged ability to perform luminescent sensing towards Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions.

Elaboración de material para la realización de experiencias de clase inversa (flipped classroom)

Las experiencias docentes que fomentan la participación activa de los estudiantes son bien aceptadas por los alumnos y se consideran un estímulo añadido que les ayuda en el proceso de aprendizaje. La clase inversa o “Flipped classroom” es un recurso docente adaptado a los objetivos de la materia de estudio y al alumnado para el cual va dirigido, que permite una interacción más personalizada entre el docente y el estudiante y estimula el trabajo autónomo de los alumnos. Con esta red docente nos planteamos la elaboración de material audiovisual propio que permita al alumno estudiar de forma preliminar y autónoma cada concepto catalogado, con el objetivo de poder utilizar la metodología de clase inversa en diversas asignaturas de farmacología. Nuestro objetivo fue elaborar un material adaptado a las necesidades específicas de nuestras titulaciones y mejorar así los resultados alcanzados en una clase tradicional. Completamos la elaboración de vídeos correspondientes a cuatro temas seleccionados de la materia y realizamos una experiencia piloto en un seminario de farmacología con buena aceptación tanto por el profesorado como por los estudiantes. El material obtenido en esta red se utilizará el próximo curso académico.
