Lecture: Flipped classroom

KEY POINTS

• Traditional classroom is hierarchal - puts the teacher above the students
• Flipped classroom - peer assessment, allows the student to actively engage and learn at a deeper level 
• Started in the 60s - student revolution, 'Egalité, Liberté, Sexualité!' - Jacque Ranciere
• Education is a method of controlling, regulating, disciplining, specialisation and indoctrinating a fear of failure. 
• BUT surely there needs to be a balance - we can not learn only from each other if we do not know anything in the first place. Textbooks, critical essays are written by teachers, professors, people who supposedly know more - surely this is the same, its learning from the written word instead of someone standing up and saying it...
