COP2: Lecture 2 - The Flipped Classroom

- This lecture was about the radical philosophies of education, that were popular amongst progressive educators. The theory of the Flipped Classroom hypothetically changes the process of teaching, flipping the hierarchy so that the student is in charge of their learning, as opposed to the tutor. It involves taking teaching away from a person, empowering them through deeper personal learning. 

- Jacques Ranciere / The Ignorant School Master: 

"He got a job teaching French to Flemish students when he himself didn't speak Flemish. He found a dual language edition of the French classic, Télémaque (1699), and, using an interpreter, asked his students to learn the French part by heart with the help of the translation. Memorising a long text was a classic humanist method of instruction, but the results more than surprised him. The students' comprehension of the text was amazing, without the benefit of his usual teaching commentaries and explanations, but that was not all. They had also learned to write in good French without any instruction in grammar."
