ENGAGING INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES:

BLENDED LEARNING (BL) USING FLIPPED CLASSROOM (FC)

According to (Ozdamli & Asiksoy, 2016), FC is a blended approach that is active and student-centered, providing

increased interaction, transitioning of teacher and student roles, and individualized learning. They also highlight the
advantages of teamwork, cooperative learning, peer feedback, and the opportunity for the teacher to track student

progress and data analytics. This is supported by (Chung & Lee, 2018) who stated increased levels of student

motivation, preparation, and commitment to learning.

Implementing a flipped classroom in my ecosystem will have multiple benefits. A blended learning approach when
applied wisely will create a community of learning amongst students and allows the teacher to provide a mentoring

and coaching role in the learning process. It also allows the teacher to be a less intimidating figure who has most of

the answers, but not necessarily all of them. Engaging students to believe that they have control over their success is

an indicator of a growth mindset. (Clark, Kaw, Lou, Scott, & Besterfield-Sacre, 2018)
