CDIO Regional Meeting - Asia-Pacific

This presentation shares the work done by the author in developing a pedagogy for evidence-based flipped classroom. This presentation builds like the practice of medicine, teaching in general and learning in particular, must also be evidence-based. It further posits that one can do so by leveraging on more in-class interaction time afforded by flipped classroom. The author first introduces the audience to flipped classroom and shared his motivation for doing so. Next, he briefly shares the approach he had developed to implement evidence-based flipped classroom, which was derived from the works of other authors in areas of the sciences of how humans learn, effective classroom strategies (in terms of its effect size) as well as a set of core principles of learning based on heuristics of the learning process. He also suggests that the collection of evidence of learning can be mediated by the use of suitable EdTech tools. The outcome of such a synthesis is a pedagogy for evidence-based flipped classroom. This is followed by examples of work done, and a brief discussion of students’ feedback on their learning experience.
