Discipline Integration Paper Outline
I. Title Page: Flipping Through the Past
II. Abstract
III. Introduction/Thesis
A. Introduction:
1. Social Sciences are traditionally ben lecture intensive.
2. The goal of this research is to determine a new way of presenting historical
information in order to engage students beyond the level of regurgitation of facts,
encouraging them to develop high-level critical thinking skills, thereby enhancing
student learning and success in the social sciences.
B. Thesis: The use of a flipped classroom in a social science setting will increase student’s in
active learning and therefore increase engagement and increase success.
IV. Why this is important?
A. The old adage about giving a man a fish is alive and well
1. Constructivist Approach: an approach to learning that holds that people actively
construct or make their own knowledge and that reality is determined by the
experiences of the learner
2. Teach a student to enjoy learning and seeking knowledge, they will find answers for
the rest of their lives
B. From Passive to Active Learning
1. What passive learning is in the social sciences
DISCIPLINE INTEGRATION PAPER OUTLINE 3
a. is a method of learning or instruction where students receive information from the
instructor and internalize it, and where the learner receives no feedback from the
instructor
b. Lecture based instead of hands-on
2. What active learning is in the social sciences
a. any instructional method that engages students in the learning process.
b. requires students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what they
are doing
V. Areas of Study
A. Education
1. Definition of Education: the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of
knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits
2. How education views the social sciences:
a. Not included in high stakes testing
b. Embedded in the English-Language Arts Testing
3. Why a change is necessary
a. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
b. Passive Learning does engage students
4. What that change should be
a. Flipped Classroom & Why
1) an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the
traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often
online, outside of the classroom.

2) It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been
considered homework, into the classroom.
b. Blended Classroom
1) integrate online with traditional face-to-face class activities in a planned,
pedagogically valuable manner.
2) roots in online learning and represents a fundamental shift in instruction that
has the potential to optimize for the individual student in ways that traditional
instruction never could
B. History
1. Definition of History: is the bodies of knowledge about the past produced by
historians, together with everything that is involved in the production, communication
of, and teaching about that knowledge
2. How history views the social science education
a. Lecture driven
b. Teacher centered
3. Why a change is necessary
a. Student centered needed
b. More individualized towards students
4. What that change should be
a. Bring back relevance of the social sciences to education
b. See patterns in history in order to help the present and future
VI. Research Questions
A. What are high school students preconceived notions about social science classes?
DISCIPLINE INTEGRATION PAPER OUTLINE 5
B. How will a flipped classroom affect those preconceived notions?
C. How will a flipped classroom improve student engagement and success in a social
science classroom?
VII. Literature Review
1. There is very little research into a flipped classroom at the secondary level with the
exception of mathematics and science classes.
2. According to the articles examined, a flipped classroom can even help a special needs
student become more engaged and therefore more successful.
3. There are significant calls for more research into a flipped classroom in the social
sciences.
VIII. Research Plan for Future
A. Personal Assessment
1. Changing Schools
2. Influencing Strategies
B. Action Plan
1. Context
2. Area of Focus
3. Data Collection
4. Next Steps
IX. Conclusion
