> I've been in flipped classrooms. They suck. Everyone hated it. The instructor justified it by showing studies "proving" how great flipped classrooms work conducted by people who advocate and teach in flipped classrooms That everyone agreed on disliking the flipped classroom format is at best very weak evidence against their effectiveness. Ebbinghaus' 1885 research [0] on how people learn and remember still doesn't inform the teaching of any subject goes in any national education system. If it did revision would be a great deal more integrated into teachers' practice. And we have a great guess at why. It feels less effective than moving on to the next topic and doing all your revision before the test. The same domination of what people think works, what feels like it's working over what actually works better is seen in the greater popularity and use of massed practice over distributed, which works better[1].
