Flipped Classrooms For Legal Education

This book discusses comprehensively the use of Flipped Classrooms in the context of legal education. The Flipped Classroom model implies that lecture modules are delivered online to provide more time for in-class interactivity. This book analyses the pedagogical viability, costs and other resource-related implications, technical aspects as well as the production and online distribution of Flipped Classrooms. It compares the Flipped Classroom concept with traditional law teaching methods and details its advantages and limitations. The findings are tested by way of a case study which serves as the basis for the development of comprehensive guidelines for the concept’s practical implementation. As Flipped Classrooms have become a very hot topic across disciplines in recent years, this book offers a unique resource for law teachers, law school managers as well as researchers in the field of legal education. It is a must-have for anyone interested in innovative law teaching methodologies.

Moderne Lehrmethoden sind in akademischen Diskussionen allgegenwärtig. Die Wissenschaft schreitet voran, daher muss die Lehre zum Nutzen der Studierenden folgen. Auf einer internationalen Konferenz in Hannover (Dezember 2019) unter der Ägide des renommierten ELPIS-Netzwerkes wurde die Angelegenheit anhand der Vielfalt der Rechtsausbildung in den EU-Mitgliedstaaten erörtert, um gemeinsame Grundlagen für die moderne Rechtslehre zu finden. Der vorliegende Band erzielt eine Balance relevanter Erkenntnisse von Wissenschaftlern und Studierenden. Er besteht aus Beiträgen von Wissenschaftlern verschiedener Rechtsgebiete an unterschiedlichen Universitäten wie Bernd Oppermann (Hannover), Claas Friedrich Germelmann (Hannover), Vasco Pereira da Silva (Lissabon), Francisco Balaguer Callejón (Granada), Andreas Schwartze (Innsbruck), Arndt Künnecke (Brühl), Maria Meng-Papantoni (Athen), Patrick R.

This approach has proven to both enhance and expand the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and learning in higher education across disciplines. In this much-needed book, authors D. Randy Garrison and Norman D. Vaughan present the foundational research, theoretical framework, scenarios, principles, and practical guidelines for the redesign and transformation of the higher education curriculum.

Teaching and learning within higher education continues to evolve with innovative and new practices such as flipped teaching. This book contributes to the literature by developing a much deeper understanding of the complex phenomenon of flipped classroom approaches within higher education. It also serves as a practical guide to implementing flipped classroom teaching in academic practice across different higher educational institutions and disciplines. Part 1 of this book (Practice) describes the considerations involved in flipped classroom teaching, including the challenges faced in transforming teaching and learning within higher education. Further, it reviews the educational concepts on which the flipped classroom is based, including a selected history of similar innovations in the past. The final sections of Part 1 explore the tools needed for flipping, the design steps, assessment methods and the role of reflective practice within flipped teaching environments. “p>Part 2 of the book (Practices) provides a range of case studies from higher educational institutions in different countries and disciplines to demonstrate the many shapes and sizes of flipped classrooms. Many of the challenges, such as engaging students in their own learning and shifting them from spectators in the learning process to active participants, prove to be universal.

This visually rich, experience-led collection explores what design can do for legal education. In recent decades design has increasingly come to be understood as a resource to improve other fields of public, private and civil society practice; and legal design—that is, the application of design-based methods to legal practice—is increasingly embedded in lawyering across the world. It brings together experts from multiple disciplines, professions and jurisdictions to reflect upon how designerly mindsets, processes and strategies can enhance teaching and learning across higher education, public legal information and legal practice; and will be of interest and use to those teaching and learning in any and all of those fields.

Teaching Evidence Law sets out the contemporary experiences of evidence teachers in a range of common law countries across four continents: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It addresses key themes and places these in the context of academic literature on the teaching of evidence, proof and fact-finding. This book focuses on the methods used to teach a mix of abstract and practical rules, as well as the underlying skills of fact-analysis, that students need to apply the law in practice, to research it in the future and to debate its appropriateness. The chapters describe innovative ways of overcoming the many challenges of this field, addressing the expanding fields of evidence law, how to reach and accommodate new audiences with an interest in evidence, and the tools devised to meet old and new pedagogical problems in this area. Part of Routledge’s series on Legal Pedagogy, this book will be of great interest to academics, post-graduate students, teachers and researchers of evidence law, as well as those with a wider interest in legal pedagogy or legal practice.

Since the prototype of clicker device was created and developed in 1990’s at Pennsylvania State University, there have been numerous arguments on its effectiveness. This book reveals a clear picture of studies on clickers and paves a solid foundation for future studies on the use of technologies in education. It is concluded that satisfaction is positively correlated with interaction, self-efficacy and self-regulation in clickers-aided EFL class without statistically significant gender differences. Learner attitude, technology anxiety, teachers’ prompt feedback, flexibility of Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class perceive usefulness and ease of technology and exert significant influence on learner satisfaction. The flipped business English writing classroom brings about better academic achievements and causes more satisfaction than the traditional one. Males are significantly more satisfied and achieved higher with Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class than females. Videos, initial EFL proficiency, learner attitudes and motivation could exert significant influence on EFL proficiency and learner satisfaction. The learning attitude, interest and intrinsic motivation are significantly and mutually correlated in both Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class and the traditional class. The book is considered a wonderful exploration in the use of clickers in the EFL flipped class. Studies in this book are conducted in a cross-disciplinary manner and shows readers a fresh view. Hence, it is worth reading.
