¿Cuáles son las mejores formas de evaluar los modelos de aula invertida?

Simply put, a flipped classroom model gives students access to learning material before the class. To ensure that this method works better than first time exposure to information during class, we must first measure if students are incentivized to engage with the material before class time. If students ignore the material until class hours, then the flipped classroom model is not working. Also to ensure fairness and inclusivity, you must ensure that students have the access, resources, support and time to commit to learning the material before class. Do all students have access to conducive learning environments at home outside of school? Ask your students questions to uncover any constraints to learning that disadvantage some students.

I disagree with the notion that a self-evaluating organization can present meaningful and objective evaluation results. In such cases, everyone involved in an evaluation has a stake in the organization’s success. Self-monitoring is important but arrangements for evaluation should be independent. The accounting profession learned this a long time ago and financial audits are independent. Evaluations should also be independent.

What I personally believe as a program manager, It ususally involves defining pertinent evaluation questions that align with program goals, objectives, & the logic model. These questions cover various aspects, including assessing students' comprehension of learning objectives, examining the impact on motivation, engagement, & participation, soliciting feedback on the quality & usefulness of both online and in-class components, & understanding challenges & advantages experienced by both instructors & students during implementation. The assessment comprehensively addresses both instructor & student perspectives, aiming to capture a holistic understanding of the flipped classroom model's impact.

Assessing the success of a flipped classroom can be done with a mix of qualitative and quantitative indicators. Some of the qualitative indicators include student feedback, student engagement, and student performance. Quantitative indicators include student attendance, student grades, and student retention rates. Feel free to discuss this in detail via Inbox.

Flipped classroom model is the future of education. It enables critical thinking skills in the students. Whenever defining the questions, we need to focus on the outcome of the topic/s being discussed. Evaluation should be holistic and each and every student should participate. We need to take care what type of evaluations we are going to do, whether it's something that needs out of the box thinking or something which needs to be quantified. Based on these aspects, the questions can be defined.

In evaluating flipped classroom models, a range of quantitative and qualitative models can be employed. Quantitative approaches involve pre- and post-tests to measure changes in student knowledge, surveys and questionnaires for stakeholder feedback, and analyzing performance data like grades and attendance rates. Learning analytics tools that track student engagement in the online environment provide additional quantitative insights. On the qualitative front, direct observations of classrooms, interviews with students and teachers, focus groups to discuss perceptions, and document analysis of lesson plans and student work samples offer deeper insights into the implementation and impact of the flipped classroom model.

Evaluation method depends upon the topic being discussed. Could be where we need the perspective of the students and could where we need to quantify the outcomes. We can also compare the performance of students in the flipped classroom with those in traditional classrooms to identify any significant differences in learning outcomes.

For the topics where we need to quantify the outcomes, we can have grade based approach. We can ask people to put their teams point of views in front of the class and ready to take questions or clarifications. The more questions they answer, the better grades they get.

Communication of results is one of the critical activities. It should not undermine anyone. The results should be done in such a way where students feel more compelled to do better next time and include perspective which they might have missed. Our ultimate goal should be to encourage each and every student to be better in class, in their interest and above all be a better human being.

More than present the project progress status, we should ensure as a PM that we will communicate the message to the audience without too much “story” and details (what really could be considered on the extra content) The report needs to show how grate we are going on the project against the scope, budget and planning, or even that what’s the key decisions that’s still need to be taken! Communication type should be clear and to the point. Details and major issues should be addressed before, and could be only summarized already with a solution or a defined action plan, exposing that the project are on control.

Few points which we can consider, Learning Objectives Alignment: Evaluate whether the flipped model aligns with the learning objectives of the course and if it contributes to the achievement of those objectives. Reflection and Continuous Improvement: Encourage teachers to reflect on their experiences with the flipped model and make adjustments based on feedback and assessment results for continuous improvement. Technology Usage: Assess the effectiveness of the technology used for delivering pre-class materials, ensuring it is accessible and enhances the learning experience.

As a program manager, In evaluating flipped classroom models in program management, a comprehensive approach involves defining specific evaluation questions, selecting appropriate methods, & implementing a well-communicated plan. Alignment with program goals, diverse stakeholder perspectives, & continuous feedback loops are crucial considerations. Scalability, sustainability, technology infrastructure, instructor, & learner readiness, along with resource allocation & budget implications should be assessed. Additionally, examining participant engagement, data security, & privacy, cultural factors, potential challenges, & risks is essential. My personal recommendation is Lead by example, learn from the experience of others.
