The teaching strategy of having students learn content outside of the classroom so that classroom time is free for active learning has continued to gain popularity and is most commonly referred to as “Flipping” the classroom. Sophia and The Flipped Learning Network teamed up to create an infographic detailing the rapid growth of the “Flipped Classroom” concept.
Among numerous facts and figures detailed, one of the most telling is told early in the graphic. In 2012, 73% of teachers had heard of the “Flipped Classroom” and in 2014 the percentage grew to 96% (Sophia, 2014). Likewise, in 2012 48% of teachers had tried a “Flipped” lesson, while in 2014 that percentage grew to 78% (Sophia, 2014).
The entire Infographic is available here.
