Flipped Learning in Finland Marika Toivola

Practice and theory of flipped learning in the well-appreciated Finnish school system Flipped Learning in Finland provides an introduction to the concepts, theoretical background and practical implementation of flipped learning. The authors challenge the prevailing myth of how learning takes place at school and present flipped learning as a new one. With a strong practical foundation, flipped learning emphasizes a human approach to learning and the student's freedom to learn. In flipped learning, teachers have more time to communicate with their students as individuals, and the students can tap into the teacher's know-how as a route to self-motivation. The book challenges teachers to develop their teaching towards a student-oriented culture of learning. The authors are the most widely recognized advocates and developers of flipped learning in Finland. "AMAZING! Spot on and such an inspiration!" Benedicte Texnes Andersen, Norway
