A Study on the Flipped Instructional Model to Support Active and Interactive Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose a flipped instructional model for literacy education in college liberal arts education by redesigning the conventional teacher-directed classroom into more interactive learner-directed classroom. This study investigates various issues related to flipped learning, especially with the concept of mastery learning and smart learning. In the flipped classroom, students study new and basic learning contents individually at home using various multimedia and smart technologies before attending classes. Then they apply their learning through interactive discussion and problem solving activities in class. Therefore, it is essential for educators to understand the process of redesigning the existing traditional curriculum into the flipped learning classes by considering course objectives as well as learner needs and styles.
