Feedback in Flipped Classrooms

Why Feedback Needs To Be Integrated Into Flipped Classrooms



Flipped
Flipped classrooms are getting plenty of headlines and attention lately in educational circles. While conceptually they sound great the reality is that they require a great deal more effort on behalf of both students and teachers. The need for teachers to develop quality material outside class time is a genuine drain on their limited time and becomes a significant obstacle to the uptake of flipping.

In a seemingly unrelated topic research is making an ever stronger case that effective feedback in a clear and timely manner has a significant influence of the achievement of student outcomes. This is especially the case for students facing high stakes examinations toward the end of their school experience. Summative evaluation through examinations is far from a new idea nor is returning papers and suggested answers. However, the merging of flipped classrooms and examination feedback may shed new insights and opportunities.
The following footage comes from a recent feedback session to 17 year old boys regarding their examination. The footage was taken from a notebook computer’s webcam and was simply recording in the background as the machine was used to project the feedback presentation. This clip is obviously a segment of a larger lesson.
