Autonomous Learning and the Flipped Classroom in Chinese Vocational Schools——A Warming-Up to Student-Centred Learning

In this study,the authors focus on the application of the flipped classroom in Chinese vocational schools. We argue the possibility of a flipped class as another way to employ student-centred learning in China where teacher-centred learning is still heavily influencing the whole educational sector. In other words,if student-centred learning is difficult to implement in the classroom due to various reasons such as the class size,an exam-oriented system and so on,can a flipped class approach take part in student-centred learning outside the classroom and if so how? Available data quantifying student learning using the flipped classroom as opposed to other student centred methods are presented. This paper will also look at the feasibility of using the flipped classroom in Chinese vocational schools where the students are historically believed to be poor learners. Finally, practices for the use of flipped classrooms in encouraging learning autonomy will be discussed.
