为了努力不成为“标题党”,我绞尽脑汁整理了一些有关翻转课堂的问题,并尝试着给出我的回答。大部分为一家之言,欢迎点评,您的建议与批评就是对本文最大的贡献,整理之后陆续出版V2.0、V3.0……
1.翻转课堂是什么?
从历史的视角考察翻转课堂,它就是把教学和练习两个环节在班级授课的组织形式中进行了颠倒。原来是上课期间完成讲授在家里完成作业和练习,现在反过来,家里完成对新知识的讲授,在课堂上和老师同学一起完成练习。简单的形式转换,背后却有大的玄机。学生基于视频的自主学习充分的保证了个性化适应,学得慢的同学慢慢听、反复听,学得快的同学跳着听、选着听,保证大部分都能听懂。和听课相比练习环节难度大,翻转课堂则把难度大的内容通过与老师和同学的直接互动中完成,从而提高学习的深度。
