Abstract: One approach that has continued to receive attention is the "flipped classroom" model. In this model, what generally occurs during class time, such as lectures and demonstrations, occurs at home or out of class and assignments typically expected to be completed out of class occur during class time. The idea is to allow more efficient and effective use of the instructor's time during class to provide the necessary scaffolding and guidance students need when engaged in applying newly learned information. Sometimes called the inverted classroom, this model has several key features that are theoretically sound and research-based. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to investigate higher ed faculty perspectives of the flipped classroom model of teaching; and (2) to examine the impact the flipped classroom model of learning may have on student achievement and disciplinary literacy. This presentation will discuss a mixed method study from an investigation of faculty perspectives and student achievement on the flipped classroom model of instruction in higher education. Specifically, how disciplinary literacy is used in the flipped classroom model with undergraduate students.
