Flipped Learning Model a Platform to Enhance Student Participation, Retention, and Employability.

This study aims to provide insight into how the flipped model of teaching and learning can enhance student participation, retention, and employability. The flipped classroom model is a pedagogical approach in which students are introduced to new content before class and use class time for discussion, problem-solving, and other activities. This study presents and examines the different types of flipped models and how they are applied in teaching and learning through a literature review. The paper also uses LSBU as a case study to understand the level of usage of the flipped model for teaching among lecturers in BEA. The literature review provides an in-depth understanding of the different approaches of flipped model application in teaching and learning generally. The study discusses the pedagogical context and some examples from class sessions in BEA. Preliminary findings show that the flipped classroom model positively impacts students' assessment, feedback, skills, and satisfaction and potentially impacts employability. The study proposes a process map encapsulating a model of the flipped model of teaching and learning that would enhance and increase student participation, retention, and employability.
