Envision going to class each day to have classes with just gathering examinations, case recreation, address and-answer sessions, pretend and different exercises, the length of you have viewed your instructor's addresses online the prior night.
This is the idea of "flipped classroom", which, in spite of its expanding fame somewhere else, is as yet something new to Hong Kong. Be that as it may, Lutz-Christian Wolff, a law teacher at Chinese University, has presented the law personnel's first such course and plans to spread the thought crosswise over Hong Kong.
"The flipped classroom idea permits you to move your address modules, where you pass on information, to an online address," said Wolff, who is additionally the college's senior member of master's level college. "That liberates in-class time which then can be utilized for various, more complete activities and criticism.
"At the point when understudies accomplish more exhaustive activities, they burrow more profound, get more energized and have more opportunity to deal with specific issues," he said. "They were significantly more dynamic and into the course."
Wolff's concept of utilizing flipped classroom began with his cross-outskirt business exchange course, which is "all that much in light of abilities preparing, for example, arranging with each other in genuine case situations. Wolff soon thought that it was hard to convey an address while permitting enough time for his understudies to process the learning through practice.
"The issue was that there was a lot to pass on, yet in the meantime we needed them to arrange and draft, and to get input. It didn't work, yet the flipped classroom idea accomplishes precisely that," he said.
In March 2014, Wolff began to apply "flipping" to two classes of understudies who took the course. The pilot venture endured two weeks.
To offer understudies some assistance with concentrating better, Wolff separated every address into shorter video clasps of between five to 20 minutes. Wolff conceded there is no real way to keep understudies from avoiding the addresses, yet since they are grown-ups and can deal with autonomous learning, there was no issue with the understudies taking part in the venture.
"We simply need to acknowledge that understudies joining a college to study are sufficiently inspired to do what they are requested that do," he said.
In the classroom, understudies, in the wake of watching the addresses voluntarily, would have a 15 to 20-minute question and answer session with Wolff, trailed by two hours of exercises, for example, case recreations, drafting bargains, bunch talks and giving criticism.
"A portion of the understudies remarked that this extra intuitiveness was exceptionally positive and that they preferred it all that much," he said.
Wolff and his group additionally assessed the venture's adequacy by having an in-class instructor watch understudies' interest and polls. The study found that around 78 for every penny of the 125 respondents valued this type of instructing. The group likewise contrasted the scores understudies gave with Wolff in the college's educator assessment framework and found that the scores for the course in 2014 were higher than in earlier years in all viewpoints.
Be that as it may, he said it will be more hard to assess the adequacy in view of understudies' scholarly scores since exams come in various structures each year. His group is as of now taking a shot at a framework to accomplish this.
Wolff said more teachers in the law staff have started utilizing "flipped classroom" and that he trusts more colleges and schools will join. He said the idea, which began at an American secondary school, could likewise work in numerous auxiliary schools in Hong Kong.
He is wanting to extend his flipped classroom undertaking to six to eight of his classes this year.
"We were energized how simple it was and how well it functioned," he said. "We couldn't trust it. We were extremely basic in light of the fact that regularly I don't believe these items that are tossed into the business sector. However, this was an extraordinary achievement."
