How AR is Streamlining Effective Adoption of Flipped Classroom Approach in K-12 Education
Index Goal: Educate readers on how AR is addressing student-related challenges of adopting the Flipped Classroom Approach in K-12 education
Potential Issues The Birth of the Flipped Classroom Approach Introducing AR for Students Conclusion
Potential Issues • Students may be getting tired of boring classrooms and uninstructive lectures. • Students may be getting tired of the nagging from teachers telling them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. • Students may be getting tired of the same old repetitive curriculums. Bulky lectures and passive study activities. So, what might students desire: • Students may desire lectures that are intuitive, enlightening, and self-instructive. • A teaching sequence that makes learning active, less imposing, and more entertaining. • K-12 students want to learn by doing. • They want to experience learning for themselves and become the independent learner they were born to be. But with the traditional ‘sage on a stage’ teaching style leading the educational bandwagon, K-12 students {Gen Z and Gen A} may have a hard time becoming better learners.
Thus, the Birth of the Flipped Classroom Approach The flipped classroom approach revolves around the same old instructional learning sequence. But it leaves room for learning activities to take place outside the classroom. That means, even with the flipped classroom approach, teachers still need to design lecture notes, create learning materials, and follow the “sage on a stage” teaching style. However, unlike the traditional learning sequence, the flipped classroom approach leaves room for students to learn by doing. With the flipped classroom approach, students can participate in pre-class learning activities {watching instructional videos} making it easier for teachers to simplify complex concepts, bridge understanding, and connect with students on a deeper level. Nonetheless, while the flipped classroom approach has helped K-12 students {Gen Z and Gen A} connect with classroom activities on a deeper level, to keep this classroom approach active, you need the right tools.
Introducing AR for Students Augmented reality is an XR tech capable of augmenting real-world objects with 3D effects. That's to say, AR can make an environment entirely different in ways that bridge perception and simplify learning. With the flipped classroom approach making learning fun and engaging, the need for immersive and intuitive classrooms where students can become independent learners is on the rise. Instructional videos seem too long, bulky, and tedious. Gradually instilling the desire for immersive instructional materials that facilitate active learning and allow students to cultivate intuitive learning habits.
That’s to say, changing in-learning habits in students from ‘instructional to intuitive’ requires a paradigm shift from ‘passive video materials to immersive AR content.' You can’t help low achieving K-12 students become better learners by using the same old instructional materials the flipped classroom approach was once built upon—immersive content is the new normal. N.B.: AR content for students doesn’t just allow K-12 learners to pause, rewind, and review lectures. It bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world. Giving students an intuitive overview of their day-to-day classroom activities and the outside world.
Conclusion An analytical study of flipped classroom approach yielded a neutral or positive impact on student achievement. So, if you have yet to adopt this approach in your institution, it may be time to give it some serious consideration. And if you have already adopted the flipped classroom approach, then it's time to update your institution's learning toolbox with AR apps. Augmented reality apps for K-12 students provide an immersive portal where classroom activities are fun, engaging, and intuitive. Do you desire to experience the holistic power of immersive learning?
