Title
The Art of Flipping: Preparing Teacher Candidates to Teach Visual Arts
Synopsis
As technologies develop and become more accessible, so too should the capabilities of educators to teach in innovative ways to mobilize knowledge. This paper explores an under-investigated application of the flipped classroom: its use in the teaching of a mandatory initial teacher education visual arts course for non-artists. Data obtained from pre-and post Likert-type surveys collected over a 2-year span as well as findings from anonymous course evaluations will be explored in this session.
