Why "Flipped Classroom" is the Future Trend of Education

Flipped Classroom, translated from "Flipped Classroom" or "Inverted Classroom", refers to the reorganization of time inside and outside the classroom, shifting the decision-making power of learning from the teacher to the students. With this model of teaching and learning, the valuable time inside the classroom allows students to focus more on active project-based learning,**** working together on solutions to localized or globalized challenges and other real-world problems to gain a deeper level of understanding. Teachers no longer take time away from the classroom to lecture on information that needs to be accomplished by students after class for independent learning; they can watch video lectures, listen to podcasts, read e-books with enhanced features, and discuss them with other classmates on the Internet, and can go to the materials they need to access at any point in time.

Teachers also have more time to interact with each individual. At the end of the class, students plan their own content, pace of learning, style, and way of presenting their knowledge, while the teacher employs didactic and collaborative methods to meet students' needs and enable their personalized learning, with the goal of achieving more authentic learning through practice. The flipped classroom model is part of a larger education movement that overlaps in meaning with blended learning, inquiry-based learning, and other teaching methods and tools, all of which are designed to make learning more flexible, active, and engaging for students. In the age of the Internet, students learn rich online courses through the Internet without necessarily having to go to school to receive lectures from teachers. The Internet, especially the mobile Internet, has given rise to the "flipped classroom" mode of teaching. The "flipped classroom" is a complete reversal of the traditional classroom teaching structure and teaching process based on the printing press, which will lead to a series of changes in the role of the teacher, the curriculum model, the management model and so on.
