Flipped Classroom as a Pedagogical Approach for the Development of Mathematics Instruction for Learning in the 21st Century

Abstract

Flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach which changes instructional activity from teacher’s lecturing to student’s self-learning. In flipped classroom, students learn concepts via digital technology and apply understanding about the concepts in classroom activities. In the classroom activities, teachers have the important role in facilitating students to develop better ‘conclusions. Flipped classroom approach consists of four stages: (1) experiential engagement, (2) concept exploration, (3) meaning making, and (4) demonstration and application. The learning in flipped classroom approach is relevant to learning in the 21st century where students are able to learn anytime and everywhere via digital technology. Flipped classroom approach is able to be implemented in mathematics classroom instruction in order to prepare students for Thailand 4.0.
