Flip and Blend Your Class for Better Student Engagement

Abstract

The FLEND methodology, an instructional design model that stands for Flip and Blend (integrated), has been developed through deep reflection on the fast- paced changes occurring in the world today. With intense competition in technology, artificial intelligence, business, medicine, and other fields, it is crucial for education to equip young learners with a diverse range of prerequisite skills that enable them to adapt to the demands of the 21st century. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, ‘We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.’ The core concept of FLEND is to provide a flexible and engaging learning experience in a digital-based class, enabling learners to explore, understand, analyze, evaluate, and assimilate content more quickly. Equally important, FLEND aims to develop highly essential skills, often referred to as the 5Cs: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and citizenship. These skills are invaluable and cannot be challenged by AI.
