Description
Much recent literature has focused on the development and benefits of a flipped classroom (Fulton 2012; Sams and Bergmann 2011). However, the majority of that literature is devoted to research conducted primarily in STEM-focused courses (Berrett 2012; Brame 2013; Moore, Gillett and Steele 2014). There appears to be very little research on the context or benefits of a flipped classroom in the social sciences, including sociology. Thus, the overall purpose of my interactive presentation is to provide context and explain the process behind a flipped classroom in the social sciences and to model a class activity in which participants are actively engaged and can use in their own classes.
