Principle-guided flipped classroom implementation framework for teaching technological contents

Abstract

The concepts of conducting flipped classroom are basically the same, yet the teachers still consider it too difficult to switch from traditional lecture to flipped classroom, due to the lack of practical model. This paper mainly evaluates three different technological courses that adopted the flipped classroom approach for one semester in The University of Hong Kong, according to the “Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education” proposed by Chickering and Gamson. The guidelines of good practices gleaned from the cases and suggestions for improvements proposed by authors in flipped classroom design is described, according to the seven principles. It is hoped that the findings in this paper can inspire on-campus teachers in the teaching and learning design in flipped classroom.
