The Flipped Classroom - Notes

What is it?

The Flipped Classroom is a new approach to education. Its a non hierarchal system that focuses on the students being in control of their own learning. Its about learning as a collective and having a more shared experience, society has no natural hierarchy and the way teaching has been constructed is societal. 

Egalité! Liberte! Sexualité!
  • A lot of new ways of thinking about education were discussed in the 60's, there was a lot more free thought. 
  • It was a volatile period of revolutionary civil unrest. 
  • Students in paris became actively engaged. Against disciplinary specialization and education as institution. 
  • L'Atelier Populatire formed y L'ecole de Beux Arts - used skills for further revolution.
  • Art was in service of the people
  • Art can be political
  • Visual communication used a as a weapon. 
  • Ranciere's  first full book developed from an essay on the theory of ideology. 
  • Rancieres Philosophy collectively figures could be interpreted to figure out what happens when one refuses ones 'proper' place.
The Distribution of the sensible
  • Links aesthetics to politics. 
  • Joseph Jacotot  was a teacher that was exiled from post revolutionary France in the Netherlands, working a job half pay. There was a language barrier as he couldn't speak Flemish to his students, so his lessons revolved around a translated book, he left the students to just learnt it for themselves. 
  • An accidental pedagogical experiments which let to the principles of 'Universal teaching'. 
  • Teaching is not about helping it enforces stultification
  • Traditional teaching divides intelligence into two. 
  • Reasons between equals
  • The problem isn't providing that all intelligence is equal. Its seeing what can be done under that supposition. 
The Society of Content
  • Inequality passion 
  • Negative - polices each other into roles
  • No much thing as possible society.
Final notes:
  • Self education  Emancipation 
  • Stultification = repression
  • Context of practice is autonomated learning - Against handholding. 
  • Education is a project that should e undertaken in common
