Theoretical Foundation

The theoretical foundation supporting the use of Flipped Classroom in teacher preparation programs is grounded in an understanding of the social and intellectual learning environment. In this environment learners actively engage knowledge in ways that act as catalysts for deep and meaningful learning (Noddings, 2005; Piaget & Inhelder, 1969). Flipped Classroom is also grounded in a consideration and respect for individual and diverse learning needs. Using Flipped Classroom allows teacher educators to motivate and guide learners to specific understanding even as they model use of an innovative method of teaching with technology that will prove meaningful and appropriate for their future practice.
