LIKE many teachers, Cristi Derow and Jennifer Bradley have spent most of their careers giving classroom lectures to students who sat passively in their seats.
The Lewisvillle, Texas, school teachers were aware that the hours they spent on preparing lessons were too often wasted on many students. So Forestwood High School, Texas, used the “flipped (翻转的) classroom” method of instruction. “We’ve completely done away with our lecture,” Derow said. And homework assignments “are all done in class,” Bradley said.
With the flipped concept, a student’s usual homework assignment is to watch pre-recorded lectures on their computers or smart phones.They walk into class ready to discuss the topic, collaborate(合作) with other students and work on assignments based on what they learned from the video. Free from lecturing, the teachers can use class time to look deeper into the subject and focus on difficult concept. As students change from a passive to an active role, they learn critical thinking skills, learn to collaborate and become independent learners.
Instead of doing homework assignments alone at home, students are now “working together, talking about it,” Bradley said. “If they don’t agree on an answer, they debate it and have to justify their answers. It’s a higher level of learning.”
Her students give the flipped classroom high marks.
Sarah Lee, 14, watches the 30-minute videos on a home computer. She likes the ability to rewind the tapes if she doesn't understand a concept. She also likes being able to watch the lessons on her own schedule.
One of her classmates, Dawson Depperschmidt has the same idea and thinks the time she spends in the classroom is more productive. “It gives us more time to learn at school,” Dawson said. “You get more in-depth in class.

(答案→)C 解析：本文介绍了一种特殊的教学法，翻转课堂。学生在家听课，在学校的教室里完成老师布置的作业。这种方法还深受学生的欢迎，因为学生变得积极、独立思考和合作了。【小题1】推理判断题。根据the hours they spent on preparing lessons were too often wasted on many students. 可知，学生在讲座式的课堂上并不积极。所以选C。【小题2】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，这种教学方式使学生学会了批判性地思考、学会合作、独立学习。所以选B。【小题3】词意猜测题。根据文章最后一句话You get more in-depth in class.可知，改词的意思是学到了更多东西。所以选C。【小题4】细节理解题。根据第三段的描述可知，翻转课堂是，老师让学生在家看录好的讲座，然后到课堂上完成作业。d不对。所以选A。
