The "Flipped Classroom with Digital Tools Training for Teachers" Erasmus+ course is a comprehensive professional development opportunity for teachers seeking to enhance their pedagogical practices and offers educators an opportunity to explore alternative instructional methods that prioritize active learning. This course delves into the innovative pedagogical approach known as the Flipped Classroom, where traditional teaching methods are reimagined by flipping the traditional lecture-homework model.

 

Throughout the course, participants will explore the fundamental concepts, theories, and practical implementation strategies related to Flipped Learning. They will gain a deep understanding of how this approach can transform their classrooms into dynamic, student-centered environments that promote active learning, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. The course offers a combination of theoretical sessions, hands-on workshops, collaborative activities, and reflective discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to analyze case studies, share best practices, and develop practical lesson plans that incorporate the flipped learning approach while utilizing ICT as an auxiliary tool.

 

By the end of this course, educators will have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a successful flipped classroom model in their teaching practice. They will be equipped with innovative instructional strategies, enabling them to create an engaging, learner-centered environment that maximizes student achievement and fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

By completing this course, participants will;  

 

1. Understand the concept and principles of the flipped classroom approach, including its potential benefits for student engagement and learning outcomes.
2. Explore effective strategies for planning, designing, and implementing flipped lessons that promote active student participation and personalized learning experiences.
3. Gain proficiency in selecting and utilizing appropriate instructional technologies and ICT tools to support the flipped classroom model.
4. Acquire skills in creating engaging pre-recorded content, such as video lectures or multimedia resources, for students to access outside of the classroom.
5. Develop techniques for facilitating interactive and collaborative in-class activities that reinforce and deepen students' understanding of the pre-recorded materials.
6. Foster the ability to differentiate instruction and provide targeted support to meet the diverse needs of learners in a flipped classroom setting.
7. Reflect on and evaluate the effectiveness of flipped learning experiences through assessment and feedback mechanisms.
8. Collaborate with peers to share best practices, exchange ideas, and troubleshoot challenges related to implementing the flipped classroom approach.
9. Develop a comprehensive action plan for integrating the flipped classroom model into their own teaching practice.
10. Enhance their overall pedagogical skills and confidence in creating a learner-centered environment that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and active student engagement.

Classes take place Monday to Friday in the Morning.
