     Summary:   
         Students are satisfied with flipped classroom when they have   
         systematic guidance on the teaching approach in use, comprehensive   
         understanding of both the content being taught and the discipline   
         more generally, and a safe learning atmosphere conducive to   
         conversation. Teachers also need to pay attention to the students'   
         technological skills and their own contact teaching skills,   
         according to a new study.   
      
      
      
   FULL STORY   
   ==========================================================================   
   Students are satisfied with flipped classroom when they have systematic   
   guidance on the teaching approach in use, comprehensive understanding of   
   both the content being taught and the discipline more generally, and a   
   safe learning atmosphere conducive to conversation. Teachers also need   
   to pay attention to the students' technological skills and their own   
   contact teaching skills, according to a new study from the University   
   of Eastern Finland.   
      
      
   ==========================================================================   
   In traditional higher education teaching, the student attends a lecture   
   where the teacher gives an oral presentation to teach about a particular   
   subject.   
      
   After the lecture, the student goes home to complete the assignments   
   given by the teacher and reads the study materials to get ready for an   
   exam. In flipping, i.e., the flipped classroom approach, it is the other   
   way round. The principle in implementing the flipped classroom model is   
   to give the student pre-class materials, which the student independently   
   goes through in the requested manner, and deeper learning on the content   
   is then achieved collaboratively in class with the teacher and fellow   
   students.   
      
   Flipping has become increasingly popular internationally in recent   
   years and the learning outcomes, while partly contradictory, have been   
   good. Growing popularity has also led to more research on flipping,   
   however, this is the first time that the success of the flipped   
   classroom approach has been studied from the perspective of student   
   satisfaction. The study involved more than 400 Finnish higher education   
   students.   
      
   "Our study showed that it is highly important to explain the approach   
   in use to the students at the beginning of the course. In other words,   
   they need information on the teaching method, the study method and   
   the intended learning outcomes. Another important factor is to guide   
   the students in managing their time and to promote self-regulation,"   
   says Erkko Sointu, Professor of Special Education at the University   
   of Eastern Finland and the lead author of the study published by an   
   international team of researchers.   
      
   The students also need concrete evidence of the theories drawn from   
   their discipline.   
      
   "The teacher should also take into account the technological skills of   
   their students. One of the key factors in contact teaching is to create   
   a safe atmosphere for the students to ask things, question the contents   
   discussed and find explanations during the class collaboratively with   
   their teacher and fellow students," Sointu says.   
      
   Tips for successful teaching in the post-COVID-19 era Though the research   
   data was compiled during the academic year 2016-2017, the findings are   
   highly relevant in our current situation. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised   
   discussion on the challenges of distance learning and studying remotely,   
   including the teachers and students getting tired of working alone.   
      
   There is a lot of debate on the pros and cons of returning to "normal   
   education."  "We have seen the first real step towards blended teaching   
   and learning during the time of the coronavirus pandemic. A better   
   understanding of flipping and its key factors gained through our study   
   provides teachers with the tools they need to successfully implement   
   contact, distance and hybrid teaching."  By taking account of the key   
   factors, teachers are able to support the learning and well-being of   
   students and apply the best practices of distance and contact teaching.   
      
   "My colleagues and I have started referring to flipping as cherry-picking   
   as, rather than sitting in lectures listening to the teacher's monologues,   
   the flipped classroom approach gives students the opportunity to time- and   
   place- independent study, to prepare for contact teaching using pre-class   
   materials and technology, and then to deepen their knowledge in class."
