ABSTRACT: Flipped classroom has attracted more and more attention of educators to improve the effective instruction in higher education, especially when connecting online teaching to classroom teaching. Problem-oriented instructional design plays a supporting role in the learner-centered teaching design. Through cleverly designed problems, teachers can control the pace of students’ learning. The paper will state the principles and results in designing problem-oriented flipped classroom through an experiment of two classes in Southwest Petroleum University, which has been applied to the teaching reform involving over five-thousand freshmen and in a style of SPOC in the past term. With the Flands’ Interaction Analysis System, the result showed that problem-oriented teaching design can improve the activity of students’ studying and it was a baton for the teacher to control the class. The study addressed teaching challenges and our solutions that most universities of science and technology might have. Hopefully our work can stimulate more researches in the area.
