An Effective Flipped Classroom Based on Log Information of Self-Study

Flipped classrooms have recently begun to attract attention. In a flipped classroom, the roles of a classroom and homework are reversed. Specifically, the students study on their own by using digital teaching materials or e-learning prior to a school hours and apply their learning mainly in the classroom discussions. In this paper, we propose a method for an effective flipped classroom based on the log information of the self-study. Specifically, when students study by e-learning at home, we collect learning logs. We classify students into groups on the basis of their study time and degree of understanding by analyzing the learning logs. We can improve the degree of understanding of the students by conducting a discussion and/or giving a presentation to each group in the classroom.
