2.  The flipped classroom as a key component of blended learning arouse
great interest among researchers and educators nowadays.

Classroom

3.  The technology of flipped classroom implies such organization of the
educational process in which classroom activities and homework
assignments are reversed.

4.  Another factor encouraging the promotion of blended learning is the
integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs)
into the educational process.

5.  The learning potential of ICTs and their availability for students offer
them a lot of opportunities to study anytime, anywhere.

6.  The integration of ICTs empowers teachers and learners, transforming
teaching and learning processes from being highly teacher-dominated to
student-centered (Trucano, 2005).

7.  Blended learning is understood as the phenomenon in which face-to-
face learning and teaching experiences are combined with online
tasks and activities (Graham, 2006).

8.  A group of researches (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000) reveal the
success of the flipped classroom and describe the key elements of
this technology.

9.  The authors mention that peer-to-peer assessment allows students to
acquire new knowledge and experience and improve their
understanding of the subject studied.

10. What is the Flipped Classroom Technology?
 It is necessary to concentrate now on the interaction of the
educational process participants as the roles of the teacher and
students undergo significant changes in the flipped classroom.

11. Firstly, in the flipped classroom, students have opportunities to control
their own learning. They can study at their own pace due to availability
and accessibility of all necessary resources in the e-learning
environment.

12. Secondly, the flipped classroom technology encourages collaboration
among students due to mutual projects and group work. Besides,
students are engaged in peer-to-peer assessment, giving feedback to
the works of their group mates according to the developed criteria.
Collaborative projects make students cooperate, learn from each other
and help each other (Marsh, 2012)

13. Finally, the flipped classroom increases students’ responsibility for their
own learning. They become more self directed and motivated than in a
traditional classroom environment.

14. Students have to learn to manage their time working with the electronic
course, developing self-study and autonomous learning skills. In other
words, students’ role in the learning process is changed, making them
active participants of the educational process.

15. The flipped classroom technology has an impact on the teacher’s role as
well. The role of the teacher is shifting from delivering ready-made
knowledge to students to facilitating their learning.
In the flipped classroom there is more reliance on students’ self-directed
learning and the teacher, therefore, needs to help students be more
responsible for their learning.

16. The teacher also has to guide students who have not had the experience
of working autonomously to gain time-management skills to make their
learning process more efficient.

17. The flipped classroom involves a lot of e-learning activities in which
students are engaged. Thus, the task of the teacher is to contribute to
creating a friendly online environment for the interaction of students
with each other.

18. The flipped classroom involves a lot of e-learning activities in which

with each other.

19. The Roles of teachers:
 The teacher also has to be an e-learning moderator to monitor online discussions, but not to
lead them. Thus, due to the technology of flipped classroom the teacher acquires
a number of different roles. He/she has to encourage and motivate students,
guide and monitor progress, give feedback, boost confidence, and maintain
motivation (Marsh, 2012).

20. Challenges:
 However, as any innovative concept, there are some challenges that have to be
overcome for the successful integration of the flipped classroom technology into
the educational process.

21.  One of the challenges is concerned with extra workload that the
teacher is designing the content of the electronic course.

22.  Recording lectures, developing learning materials and searching for
supplementary resources require a lot of time, skills and efforts from
the teacher.

23.  Nevertheless, when the electronic course is integrated into the
teaching and learning process, the teacher has additional time for
doing research and methodological work.

24.  Another important issue that plays a vital role for the flipped
classroom technology is that all stages of the teaching and learning
process should be logically connected.
Teaching &
Learning
Should be match!

25.  All tasks and assignments that students have to do in the electronic
course must be checked and assessed in class or the e-learning
environment.

26. How can students get used to it?
 One more problem is that some students do not accept the
replacement of face-to-face classes with activities in the e-learning
environment because of the fear that they “lose” live communication
with the teacher and peers.

27. How to solve?
 It is necessary to explain to students the concept and features of the
flipped classroom technology, showing them additional means of
communication that the online course provides such as chats, forums
and video conferences.
