Flipped learning is known to be an approach where learners take part in the learning process in a different way than in the non-flipped classroom and that in both they may deepen their knowledge and develop various competencies such as problem-solving and collaboration. Paying attention to the characteristics of flipped learning, the purpose of this study is to propose practical guidelines for the use of the flipped classroom by exploring the teaching and learning processes involved. Through a literature review, the 3 P model of teaching and learning was applied, and grit, professor support for fostering autonomy, learning engagement and perceived achievement were selected as variables for the process involved in learning via the flipped mode. In order to investigate the relationship between these variables, 121 students in a flipped classroom were surveyed. Data were analyzed by path analysis. The results showed that the support provided by the professor in terms of helping students to develop autonomy significantly predicted perceived achievement. Learning engagement mediated the relationship between grit and perceived achievement, and between the support given by the professor in terms of helping students to develop autonomy and perceived achievement. Based on the results, the specific strategies to enhance learners’ grit, their autonomy and learning engagement are discussed for the successful flipped classroom.

The proposal of the flipped classroom is that the student has the first contact with the content through pre-class activities. The classroom becomes the place to clarify doubts and deepen knowledge in practical activities such as problem solving, projects and group discussion. This article presents a literature review that aims to reflect on the flipped classroom as an active methodology and the changes and impacts of its use for the teaching and learning process. It is concluded that the purpose of the flipped classroom is to favor a better use of time and space in the classroom, encouraging the active student, with reflective thinking and greater interaction between students and between them and the teacher. This can lead to positive impacts, such as greater conceptual understanding, development of critical thinking and reducing the number of failures. On the other hand, negative points may arise, such as an increase in the number of hours of previous study and the student's difficulty in adapting to the logic of inversion of classes.

 This study explores how a flipped learning pedagogy was introduced to two separate student groups, within different disciplines, law and computing and compares the findings that have begun to emerge in relation to the development of a range of skills in particular the development of problem solving skills. Analytical and problem solving skills are not only the key skills for both law students and computing students, but are key skills for any graduate. The findings suggest the flipped classroom approach can increase student participation, engagement, supports the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills and promotes deeper levels of learning. The findings also support that this method of teaching and learning encourages the development of independent study skills and provides opportunities for students to develop and practice the core skills required of their discipline. This paper will also explore the perceived challenges and benefits experienced by both students and academics working with a flipped teaching and learning strategy during the academic year 2014/15.

<p>This research investigated the implementation of Flipped Approach in EFL classroom with the implementation of the E-learning platform. The participants were 42 sophomore English majors of Advanced Paragraph Writing class at Jember University. A within-subjects research design exposed all participants to have Writing Class by flipped learning and to use the E-learning platform. A one-shot survey design was used in this research by distributing two questionnaires “Perception of Flipped Learning Experience” and “Technology Acceptance Model” and doing the in-class observations as “Flipped Note” to collect the data. Data were analyzed quantitatively through SPSS 16.0 by applying the formula of Descriptive Statistics. The results of this research revealed that the implementation of the flipped approach in the classroom: (1) motivated the students in learning the materials, (2) enhanced the students’ knowledge, (3) and engaged them more in the learning tasks. They explained that the flipped approach gave them a new experience in language learning processes, in which they learned the materials before coming to the classroom so that they could criticize the materials. This way of learning aligns with the idea of student-centred learning. It is notable, however, that the students who did not learn the materials yet, could not criticize the materials and could not reach better outcomes in flipped classroom Moreover, the use of E-learning in the flipped classroom gave the students beneficial outcomes in the learning processes. Students revealed on the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire that E-learning facilitates them properly, and they wanted to look forward to having E-learning in the future learning processes. Despite this finding, there remain limitation on the “server down” issue which needs to be straightened for more accessible E-learning among users.</p>

Information literacy is regarded as the basis for learning in our contemporary environment of rapid and sophisticated technological change. As information and communication technologies develop rapidly, and the information environment becomes increasingly complex, educators are recognizing the needs for learners to engage with the information environment as part of their formal learning processes. The achievement of lifelong learning and making citizens become information literate is the target of many nations as far as millennium development goals and vision 2015 are concerned. This chapter presents a literature review on information literacy and lifelong learning pointing out the relationship between the two and their benefits, and finally, the chapter makes recommendations to improve both programs.

This study aimed to understand circulation of discourses that mobilize a conception about the relationship between Chemistry and experimentation in a Chemistry Degree course, assuming its role as a supervisor of practices and seeking to problematize its effects on teacher education and Basic Education. Theoretical and methodological bases of Discourse Analysis were used in the process of research, analysis and construction of the text. The analysis points to emergence of discourses based on a conception that Chemistry is essentially an experimental area and that produces and reproduces practices, whether in production of chemical knowledge, or in teaching and learning processes, which are fundamentally based on achievement of experiments. In relation to teaching, this conception runs through ideas which are possible to problematize, such as that of experiment itself is enough for learning and that Chemistry is learned by doing. The results presented in this work show the importance of rethinking practices that are naturalized in the chemistry teacher training courses.

O artigo ora apresentado considera a centralidade do corpo nas práticas pedagógicas das aulas deEducação Física, buscamos aproximar dois conceitos teoricamente distantes, mas visivelmente “corporais”: o demímesis – a partir de Walter Benjamin (1995) e Theodor Adorno (2009) - e o de bricoler, tendo como referência asreflexões de Claude Levi-Strauss (1989). Após uma discussão conceitual, apresentamos uma análise de parte dofilme “O Homem Sexta-feira”, especialmente quando Robinson Crusoé tenta ensinar Sexta feira o que é o esporte.Assim, procuramos pensar nas relações entre professores e alunos. Acreditamos que tais conceitos podem nosajudar a pensar a autonomia dos alunos nas aulas de educação física, rompendo com uma tradição nos processosde ensino e aprendizagem baseados numa relação unidirecional “mestre-discípulo”.Palavras-chave: Mimesis.

After a conceptual discussion, we present analysis of one part of the film, “Men Friday”, especiallywhen Robinson Crusoé tries to teach Friday’s man what is the sport. Then we think of the relationship betweenteachers and students. We believe that these concepts can help us to think the autonomy of students in physicaleducation classes, breaking with a tradition in teaching and learning processes based on a “oneway” to relationship“master-disciple”.Keywords: Mímesis.

The emergence of new technological tools has affected and changed the realm of education to a great extent which has led many language practitioners to adopt gradual innovative steps in their teaching methods. Accordingly, flipped learning has been adopted and implemented in different contexts such as ELT. The purpose of this paper is to provide information regarding the definition of flipped learning, its recent literature, its advantages and disadvantages, and to focus on how to apply this approach in English language teaching and learning contexts. The review shows that this approach meets the principles of personalized learning, constructivism, and student-centered instruction which has brought many benefits for both teachers and students and clearly shows teachers’ and students’ roles have been significantly changed comparing with traditional methods of teaching and learning. The significance of this study lies in the fact that it has brought numerous insights and implications for ELT practitioners. The paper concludes with the recommendations in the literature on promoting flipped classroom environments in ELT teaching and learning contexts, which will help ELT teachers and practitioners who are thinking of implementing new technological tools in their teaching practices

Technology is the systematic application of scientific knowledge about teaching and learning and conditions of learning to improve the efficiency of teaching and training. The flipped classroom as “a teaching method that delivers lecture content to students at home through electronic means and uses class time for practical application activities may be useful for information literacy instruction.” That means that there is much more use of technology for the Flipped Learning Studies on flipped classrooms were based on Bloom’s revised taxonomy of the cognitive domain, which provides six levels of learning. The study was conducted on 180 students of xi standard for enhancing achievement in organic chemistry. The findings indicated that there were significant gains in the mean scores of the experimental group
