Project Summary

The project is a cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices between 7 European schools from Poland (the coordinator), Italy, Lithuania, Turkey, Romania, Greece and Hungary. The total project duration is 24 months starting from 1 October 2016. The participants of the project are students aged 15-18 attending comprehensive or vocational schools.The project title is: “Reversed roles at school: flipped classroom and learning through teaching. ” The objective is working out a methodology based on innovative techniques and ICT tools. The core of the project is the exploration of an innovative approach in education called “Flipped Classroom” which inverts traditional teaching methods delivering instruction online outside of class and moving homework into the classroom. The shift of the teaching components results in greater student engagement in the classroom activities and better academic performance. What is more, students are more aware of their needs and skills, which makes them more responsible for their education. The method is deeply imbedded in the digital era because it involves creating instructional films by students themselves. They learn through lecturing their peers thanks to creative and emotional engagement in designing videos and other electronic tools. Flipped classroom can be used with every subject but we concentrate on Science especially Mathematics. Work on the project in the initial phase is to acquaint the teachers from the participating schools with the applications used to create advanced videos, screencasts, slideshows and other audio-visual materials. The main part of the project is to use the method in practice and flip a chosen school course to see how the method works. The final step is the evaluation of the exploratory process and its impact on the teaching process. The project includes many activities, some of which are completed during 3 blended mobilities. Students test different applications and design didactic materials in different classes (Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Foreign Languages, vocational subjects). During blended mobilities they simulate flipped classrooms and learn cultural background of the partners’ countries using ICT tools. The project envisages further international cooperation for more studies in the innovativeness of the method and its implementation in the school curricula. The method is a complete novelty to all the schools taking part in the project which is a pilot course using it. The disseminating process helps to inform the greatest possible number of teachers about its aims, structure and benefits. The main tools of dissemination is the internet: webpages of schools and educational institutions. The results of the project are reports on the method research and use as well as the didactic base which can be used and enriched in the future.
