Four Key Elements (Brame)

4. Develop and facilitate in-class activities that focus on

What do we know? (n=309)
 57 percent of faculty using model agree that their flipped
classroom is “extremely successful” or “successful”
 80 percent report “improved mastery of information” and
“improved retention of information
 86 percent “strongly agree” or “agree” that student
attitudes have improved since adoption
Center for Digital Education 2013 Survey (sponsored)
What do we know?
 Study comparing 2 sections of a large-enrollment course
 Using interactive lecture, no significant difference
 Implemented “flipped” method:
 Increased student engagement
from 45 +/- 5% to 85 +/- 5%
 Improved Test Scores
from 41 +/- 1% to 74 +/- 1%
