Abstract
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) holds a special position in higher education, and data indicated that online teaching may increase the rate of dropout in STEM courses. Meanwhile, much higher percentage of STEM courses require hands-on experience that cannot be satisfied by online teaching and the virtual reality (VR) techniques. Flipping classroom provides a unique approach to utilize the components of online teaching and the advantage of traditional face-to-face classroom teaching. This chapter summarizes the development of flipping classroom and practical examples to explain the general principles to improve the design and conduction of flipping classroom, especially in STEM education.
