翻轉式學習，即讓孩子先學，老師在課堂上通過提問，瞭解學生在學習中的問題再將進行教授。這一學習方式的改革，極大地調動了學生的積極性，提高了學習效率。本書作者根據這一教學理念，創辦了瑟穀學校。在這本書中，兩位作者為我們深入剖析了當今全世界教育面臨的巨大問題：後工業化時代已來臨，而我們的教育模式還停留在工業化時代的樣子，把學生培養成為工業社會服務的、馴良的標準化的產品。他們用深邃的洞察力展示出，當今 “工廠式”學校的顛倒、錯誤與可笑之處。告訴我們，對個人教育有幫助的內在工具和外在環境是什麼；構建出，一個人從出生到死亡各個階段理想教育的藍圖。 作者所主張的教育理念被很多國內一流中小學校所接受，並在不斷推廣之中，而大規模網上學習課程的湧現，進一步加快了這一過程。
