| Summary |
This report introduces the active learning techniques employed by the author. Among a variety of active learning pedagogical methods, this report focuses on a flipped classroom. A lecture given during class time is self-learnt outside of a school hours, and typical learning that is completed outside the classroom is performed during in-class time.
The spread of massive open online course (MOOC) promotes short video lectures to be viewed by students at home, and it is often seen as the key element in the flipped classroom. However, the production costs of the video lectures are usually high. So the author attempted a so-called “poor man’s flipped classroom.” Given it is an on-going trial it is too early to evaluate it; however, the author has a generally positive feeling about it.
Various methods are available for active learning, and one may turn his or her thoughts to the meaning of related pedagogy. Those thoughts lead to questions about what we should be teaching and what students should learn at university. In this report, I also include my opinion with regards to the question.
