What are the substantive differences between flipped and non-flipped instruction? This study examined the instruction of two teachers who have worked together within the same school using the same Algebra 1 curriculum for years. One teacher flipped his instruction (creating lecture videos assigned as homework), while the other teacher continued with non-flipped instruction. Data from classroom observations were analyzed qualitatively using the Flipped Mathematics Instruction Framework. Results show that although there were clear differences in the format of flipped and non-flipped lessons, there were also substantial similarities with regard to features of instruction (e.g., procedural mathematical development, teacher authority, and tasks with low cognitive demand). Our analysis indicates that flipped instruction is not necessarily an innovative model when compared with non-flipped.

Flipped instruction is an instructional model in which a teacher assigns videos or other multimedia outside of class. Because mathematical content is delivered via these videos in flipped instruction, it is important that we examine them more carefully to capture how content delivery may differ (or not) between flipped and non-flipped instructional models. In this poster, we present our findings around the question, “What are the features of lecture videos selected/created by algebra teachers utilizing flipped instruction?”
