At the seminar “Flipped Learning”, Dr Im Jin-Hyouk emphasized that AI is more than a support tool, as it is actively reshaping how people access knowledge. As platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude can deliver information almost instantly, the role of education is no longer limited to transmitting knowledge. It must shift toward developing thinking abilities - and especially critical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving.

In this context, flipped learning is seen as an appropriate solution that enables learners to engage with content before class (through videos, materials, and self-assessments) and frees up class time for higher-order thinking activities.

DTU lecturers share their practical experience with flipped learning

Going beyond theory, lecturers from the DTU International School also shared their practical experience. The model has been applied with a student-centered approach and has initially delivered positive results: students are more proactive in their learning, gain a deeper understanding of knowledge, and show clear improvements in soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and the use of technology.

However, the path to innovation is not without challenges. Dependence on students’ discipline when engaging in self-study, differences in academic levels, access to technology, and the increased preparation workload are issues that need to be addressed to maximize the model’s effectiveness.

Educational innovation is no longer optional; it has become essential for adapting to the rapid development of the times. DTU is implementing modern teaching methods aimed at comprehensive development of skills to empower learners to confidently adapt and master the Digital Age.
