Between 30th May and 3rd June, a 5-day digital skills training entitled "Flipped Classroom Methodology" took place in Huelva, a city in south-west Spain, as part of the international Erasmus+ project Digital Skills 4 All (DS4ALL). The training was attended by project partners from Spain, Italy, Romania, Croatia and VSŠ Academia from Slovenia, represented by lecturers Jagoda Đorđevič, Dušan Mežnar and Jože Ravničan.
The Erasmus+ project Digital Skills 4 All enables those working in vocational education and training to become familiar with new strategies for increasingly effective and inclusive teaching that can beneficially exploit the advantages offered by new technologies. The "DS4All" project has been developing for its second year, and to date the project has already hosted circular exchanges in the countries of the project partners with the aim of testing innovative teaching methodologies integrated with digital tools. The key guideline of the project is to create didactic programming that can transform distance learning into something agile and effortless, without abandoning its important educational mission.
The 5-day training "Flipped Classroom Methodology" began at the Centre for Digital Training and Innovation Inercia and was divided into 5 key chapters, which took place over the following days of training under the mentorship of Isabela Gonzalez Contreras.
On the first day of training, partners became acquainted with the guidelines of the learning process over the following 5 days, what the objective of this training was, they learnt about the concept and purpose of the flipped classroom and how to integrate it into the Moodle platform. On the second and third days, the focus was on learning the steps of creating a "flipped classroom" and what models of flipped classroom we know. Tools and resources that are crucial for the development and design of the flipped classroom model were presented. On the fourth and fifth days, partners presented simulations of the flipped classroom in the practical part of the training and how lecturer-student interaction takes place within it. After each simulation, questions and suggestions for improvement followed. At the end of the last, fifth day, a review of the entire training followed, followed by feedback on the methods and impact of the flipped classroom, and partners presented their experiences.
The objectives of the training were to understand the components of the flipped classroom, how to successfully create "lectures" using different media methods, and the use of digital aids to improve teaching. In the practical part of the training, partners also learnt, with the help of various information and communication technologies, how to guide students at group and individual level and how to motivate students to learn with the help of ICT.
