Teachers’ development in a flipped classroom for applied mathematics: A use case in a transdisciplinary engineering study

The flipped classroom is an instruction method that has gained momentum during the last years due to technological advances allowing online sharing of teaching material and learning activities. In 2000, Lage et al. gave the following definition for this instruction model: “Inverting the classroom means that events that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and vice versa” [1]. In 2013, Bishop and Verleger found this definition very broad and noted that it implies that the flipped classroom just represents a re-ordering of in-class and out-of-classroom activities. Therefore, they defined the flipped classroom as “...an educational technique that consists of two parts: interactive group learning activities inside the classroom, and direct computer-based individual instruction outside the
