I like this concept. As an instructor for an institution focusing on preparing our students for future careers, I prefer not to spend my class time reciting terms and spoon-feeding information to the students that they could obtain themselves through their own reading and research. I prefer to spend my time discussing, practicing, and problem-solving real-life situations that pertain to the topics presented. I believe this creates an environment for deeper understanding, application, and learning. I believe the flipped classroom should be the primary means of instruction for adult learners. Most adults attending career-oriented schools, are motivated to learn the techniques and principles necessary to be successful in their career choice and will take responsibilty to learn the material. The instructor, then, can act as the facilitator of learning and provide insight and information based on experience to guide their students to greater learning and to becoming more responsible and effective career professionals.
