Changes in Liberal Arts Education

Ask about the history of your topic:
Why did topic come into being? What led to the creation of this flipped classroom?
What came before/after topic? What happened in education that caused certain
teachers to want to create a flipped classroom? What does a flipped classroom end
up doing for students? What are the effects?

Ask about its structure and compositions:

How does topic fit into the context of a larger structure or function as part of a larger
system? How does your topic represent the values of another different groups,
institutions, or cultures? How does the flipped classroom fit into our education system
and learning goals? Does it inhibit successful education?
Team 3

How do its parts fit together as a system? What parts of the topic is significant in
particular systems? What happens if a student doesnt watch the lecture before a
class? Are they punished? Are they unable to complete the work? Is it harder for them
to complete the assigned in class assignments?

Ask how is your topic categorized:

How can your topic be grouped into kinds or qualities? What types of classes are seen
as good candidates for this type of teaching style?

Turn positive questions into negative ones:

Examples: Why dont we end self-segregation? > Why has self-segregation not been
stopped? Why should we support women in the classroom? >How are women
unsupported in the classroom? Should we fund rural schools equally? > Why hasnt
funding been allocated to provide resources for rural schools?
Why have we gone away from the traditional classroom?> Is there a need for
professors on campus if the students are just going to watch them through the
internet?> Does the introduction of this class take away the student-teacher
interaction?> Isnt the growing popularity of these classes turning universities into
online schools?>

Ask what if and other speculative questions:

How would things be different if your topic never existed, disappeared, or was put into
a new context?
What if all classrooms used the flipped classroom model? Would students and/or
teachers loss anything?

Ask questions suggested by your sources:

I you find a sources claim persuasive, then ask questions that might extend its reach.
Example: Article X shows that the achievement gap is caused by unequal funding and
resources in rural schools, is this also the cause of the achievement gap in highly
populated urban areas?
Ask questions that build on agreement
By students learning and researching information on their own more effective than
students listening to a professor lecture?
Ask questions that build on disagreement
By using the flipped classroom model, how are the students going to learn all the
information they need to know on their own and effectively?
