FLIPPED-TIC: A Flipped Classroom experience with preservice teachers

Flipped ICT is a teaching innovation project that has been developed in the Faculty of Education at the University of Murcia (Spain). One of the main objectives of this project was the development of a Flipped Classroom experience in a class at the University of Murcia. Traditionally students receive from the teacher a first approach to the contents of the subject, on which subsequently deepened at home doing work or other tasks. Apply the Flipped Classroom methodology involves reversing this process. Through the use of ICT, students have access to some of the contents of the subject, which displayed outside the classroom, usually through videos. These resources enable students to establish a first contact with the contents or tools to work. Once in class, students focus on working in different tasks (consult doubts, debates, creating resources, implementation of practices, etc.). This paper presents the development and results of evaluation of an experience of use of Flipped Classroom in two classes of the Degree in Early Childhood Education. The results show that student satisfaction with this methodology is very high, and the role of the teacher in class is considered absolutely necessary. From the results, it is concluded that the use of such methodologies in the classroom it is recommendable to promote significant learning in students.
