overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
The flipped classroom, or 'sala de aula invertida' in Portuguese, is an instructional strategy where traditional teaching methods are inverted. Instead of introducing new content during class time and assigning practice as homework, students first explore new material independently outside of class through videos, readings, or online modules. Classroom sessions are then dedicated to active learning activities such as discussions, problem-solving, and collaborative projects, fostering deeper understanding and engagement.
