Understanding Disciplines and Subjects: A Pedagogical Innovation in Teacher Education through the Use of Flipped Classrooms

Abstract

The flipped classroom is a popular pedagogical innovation in teacher education. For the preparation of teacher preparation course Understanding Disciplines and Subjects, the flipped classroom is used. Flipped approaches have many advantages. It reverses the traditional teaching pattern by having students work outside of class and learn actively in class. Increased participation, understanding of complicated ideas, and critical thinking are examples. Technology concerns, proper instructional design, and student readiness are major challenges to implementation success. The flipped classroom study, how it might be applied in teacher education, and its potential and drawbacks are examined in this article. The results suggest that the flipped classroom can improve pre-service teachers’ education by teaching them how to understand and teach cross-disciplinary interactions. It is well-planned and supported. This creation is a step toward modernizing teacher preparation for 21st-century students.
