At least one online learning station is part of the rotation. Other sites, on the other hand, focus on whole-class or small-group instruction, group projects, one-on-one tutoring, and paper-and-pencil assignments.
Meanwhile, the flipped classroom approach refers to the implementation of a rotation model in which students alternate between face-to-face teacher-led exercises on campus during a normal school day and online teaching and content of the same subject according to a set schedule. go home after school.
