An experience with university students: Flipped Classroom Methodology

This work develops an experience based on the Inverted Classroom (IA) or Flipped Classroom methodology with 110 students of a university degree. The aim is to study in depth new teaching methodologies that favour the learning of undergraduate students in the Faculty of Commerce and Management of the University of Malaga. Their opinions, perceptions and assessment of their satisfaction with this method, as opposed to the traditional teaching methodology, are collected. This is a quantitative descriptive study. The method demonstrates its usefulness in essential aspects of the model such as the optimised use of class time, the development of competences and higher order thinking skills and the improvement of inter-student and student-faculty communication. The results corroborate that student are satisfied with the method itself compared to traditional teaching. In order to increase the effectiveness of learning, key aspects are identified such as working on the educational culture, promoting the benefits of IL. In addition, it is recommended to deepen the materials that are more attractive to students, in order to minimise the perception of the effort required. It is suggested as a future line of work to extend the experience to other degrees.
