“Students will get more involved in learning,

spend more time learning, and in turn learn

more when they are placed in supportive

educational settings that hold high

expectations for their success, provide

frequent feedback about their learning, and

require them to share the experience of

learning with others.”

Vincent Tinto

“When the lecture begins, most students

are paying close attention?.[and] for

most students that attention lasts for

about 10 minutes.”

(McKeachie, 1996)

Flipping the classroom replaces

traditional lecture and is successful

since students cannot passively receive

material in class if they are actively

engaging in conversation and activities.
