Keynote: When and How Flipped Learning is Effective

Agarwal

In my talk, I will argue that the current levels of enthusiasm for flipped learning are not commensurate with and far exceed the vast variability of scientific evidence in its favor. I will share findings from an analysis of 46 meta-analyses as well as a meta-analysis of 173 studies specifically coding the nature of the flipped implementation for active versus passive learning activities. Findings suggested that most flipped learning interventions under delivered on the promise of active learning. I will then use the findings to propose a more specific model for flipping which I have developed with my colleagues—The 4 F Model: Fail, Flip, Fix, and Feed--whereby students are asked to first engage in generating solutions to novel problems even if they fail to generate the correct solutions, before receiving instruction. I will end by deriving implications of the 4F model and future research.
