pöördõppes

Pöördõppes, often translated as flipped learning or flipped classroom, is an instructional strategy that reverses the traditional educational model. Instead of delivering lectures in class and assigning homework to be completed individually, pöördõppes moves direct instruction outside of the classroom. Students typically engage with lecture materials, readings, or video content at home, at their own pace.

The time spent in the classroom is then dedicated to active learning activities. This can include problem-solving, group discussions, projects, laboratory work, and personalized support from the instructor. The goal is to maximize face-to-face time for collaborative and engaging experiences, moving away from passive listening towards active participation and deeper understanding.

Pöördõppes aims to make classroom time more interactive and student-centered. By providing foundational knowledge outside of class, educators can use valuable in-person time to address individual student needs, facilitate peer learning, and foster critical thinking skills. This approach can cater to diverse learning styles and paces, allowing students to revisit content as needed and engage with more challenging material during class sessions. The effectiveness of pöördõppes can depend on factors such as student preparation, the quality of out-of-class materials, and the design of in-class activities.
