<title><b>Changing trends in teaching methodology- didactic Lectures replaced by flipped classroom method</b></title>
<abstract>Traditional teaching which is basically of teacher centred model focus primary on the knowledge acquired by the teacher who is the primary source of information. Most of the hours spend involves one way lectures delivered by the teachers. Involvement by the student in the form of active participation, cognitive skills, interaction between peer groups, are lacking in large group teaching. Didactic lectures are perceived as challenging for both facilitators and students now a day's. Hence changing trends in teaching methodology would be an answer for all those negative impacts mentioned above. So this article will describe about flipping the routine classes and converting them into a small group teaching named flipped classroom model. In this method the classroom materials will be delivered prior to the student's by uploading in web and the resource material can be of a simple power point presentation, a video lecture, recorded voice, YouTube online platform or any other similar sources .The classroom allows the students to discuss about the topic in detail with the facilitator and along with their peer groups. It's basically about inverting or flipping the classroom in which the lectures are given prior to the class and discussion with active participation of the students is done during the lecture hours.This article describes in detail about the various aspects involved in it.</abstract>
