Working with authentic assignments might seem like utopia in a time where schools are forced into a fast pace, including lectures, presentations, multiple requests for explanations on unclear steps… Flipped learning creates the ideal learning environment for authentic tasks: reversing the method of instruction frees up precious time to work in groups on complex, realistic, immediately accessible activities which require a multidisciplinary approach and allow for more than one solution.

 

In this volume, the teacher can find numerous suggestions and hints – instructions, fact sheets, operational tools and checklists – to integrate authentic tasks within the flipped didactics, from primary school up to the end of secondary school. 

Through challenging questions – how to make videos and dubbing, prepare impossible interviews, use precision tools to make comparisons, find new links between music and chemistry – the students are stimulated to actively search for data, to resort to unconventional resources, putting in play the eight European competences for lifelong learning.
