Kurdistan Region Iraq (KRI) Teacher Up-Take of Student-Centered and/or Flipped Classroom Approach

This study will focus on curriculum development and the practical application of emerging conceptions in beyond-the-school real-world settings. Specifically, it will explore what internal barriers exist in KRI teachers to adopting a student-centered and/or flipped Classroom approach.

We also expect to help the teachers in this area to overcome those barriers and to adopt more interactive approaches, such that students are not just passive listeners to lectures, but rather active participants in knowledge acquisition through dialogue and question asking.
