Which statement describes a flipped classroom?

• A. A classroom where all instruction happens online with no in-person meetings.
• B. A classroom in which more traditional teaching methods and the delivery of instruction happen outside the classroom and online, while traditional homework and applying concepts learned is moved into the classroom and facilitated by the teacher.
• C. Students learn by watching videos at home and do not discuss in class.
• D. A model where teachers deliver lectures in the classroom with no homework.

Answer: (B)

The flipped classroom centers on moving direct instruction outside the classroom—often through online videos or readings—and using in-class time for applying concepts, practicing, and collaborating with the teacher guiding and supporting students. This description captures the key idea: the teacher facilitates active learning during class while students prepare beforehand and then apply what they’ve learned with guidance. That fits best because it contrasts traditional in-class lecturing with in-class application and outside-the-classroom preparation. If instruction happens entirely online with no in-person meetings, or if students only watch videos at home without discussion in class, those don’t reflect the collaborative, in-class problem-solving and teacher-facilitated guidance that define a flipped model. Likewise, delivering lectures in class with no homework is the traditional approach, not the flipped approach.
