Frequently asked questions\"Intro<\/a><\/h3>\n

Will this actually help my learning?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! Lots of different studies have shown that flipped classrooms result in better learning outcomes than traditional classrooms.<\/p>\n

Is my ATAR safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s likely to be better if you\u2019re taught with a flipped classroom, than if you were taught in a traditional classroom. The access to content on demand, coupled with better use of your teacher\u2019s time, means that you\u2019re likely to learn more and perform better on exams and in assignments.<\/p>\n

Is this just a way for my teacher to get out of teaching?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not at all \u2013 in fact, your teacher now has a much more active role in your learning. Now your teacher is spending their time actively helping you and your peers actually apply<\/em> the things that you\u2019ve learned, instead of just lecturing the entire class while the class takes notes.<\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a>Isn\u2019t it important to be able to ask questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. In this teaching method, you have more opportunities to ask questions because your teacher will not be spending class time carefully explaining things for the first time.\u00a0 Now, those explanations are captured in the videos, and your teacher can spend class time focussing on the parts you found difficult.\u00a0 A large part of your job while watching the videos is to figure out exactly what your questions should be.<\/p>\n

Can I use meriSTEM on my own?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the advantages to a flipped classroom come from what actually happens in-class<\/em>.\u00a0 The online materials are a necessary component to liberate that class time, but by themselves they\u2019re not enough. With that said, if you\u2019re looking for some extra resources, or another explanation of some of the tricky concepts, head to https:\/\/courses.meristem.anu.edu.au<\/a>, register and learn away!<\/p>\n
