I think the Khan academy has a solution to this particular problem. Salman in his TED talk proposed that students view the videos in their own time for the basics, then engage in problem solving in class so that the teacher can devote much more attention to each student.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoExperience with this shows that the kids simply don't watch the videos. It sounds brilliant - let the kids watch videos together, they can eat pizza, drink cola, laugh, text, watch the video again to get the bits they missed, and then come to class to work the problems and get help. The experiment has been done - the vast majority of the kids don't watch the videos.
- sid0 16y agoIs there a record of the experiment online somewhere?
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI'm pretty sure I read of it on a web site lunk to from here, but I don't have a record of it. I have seen it reported from at least two different people who tried it, but don't have a record of where I read it. Sorry. EDIT: I've found one reference to a teacher who's trying it but has some kids who don't watch the videos: http://www.msteacher2.org/forum/topics/flipping-the-math-classroom?xg_source=activity http://www.msteacher2.org/forum/topics/flipping-the-math-cla... Here's another in the comment stream for the Khan TED talk that suggests the idea: http://www.joannejacobs.com/2011/03/khan-use-video-to-flip-education/comment-page-1/#comment-159231 http://www.joannejacobs.com/2011/03/khan-use-video-to-flip-e... There are more, but they require filtering/finding: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=math+homework+flip+video+%22don%27t+watch%22 http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=math+homework+flip+video+%2...
- sid0 16y agoThanks. That's somewhat disappointing, I guess.
- madcaptenor 16y agoThis is basically like how students don't read the textbook, only the textbook is a video.
