Video Lecture and Flipped Learning for Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract To increase the impact of the classroom management course required for the teaching degree programme at one small, private Midwestern university, the professor implemented flipped learning. Students were given a survey related to their perception of learning potential using flipped instruction before and after the semester. Results indicated that most students perceived that they learned from video content. Recommendations for improving flipped learning at the college level are discussed.

Classroom management is a weakness of teacher training programmes across the United States (Dicke et al., 2015). Students are leaving college unprepared to manage their classrooms effectively and lacking practical ideas
