The development of the model flipped classroom at university: Impact of its implementation from student voice

Abstract

The progress in the digital world has generated a radical change in the way to access and transmit knowledge. The learning process is no more an internal and individual activity; nowadays is a collective activity in the network. This article describes the results of a quantitative study which purpose was to analyse the students' perceptions and valuations regarding the implementations of the flipped classroom model. An ad hoc questionnaire was designed. Data were collected longitudinally during two academic years, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The sample of the study was 259 participants. Results show that in general learning experience and its effectivity improve, being the most positive results in the older students. Among the conclusions we highlight that the model improves students' motivation but it requires high levels of responsibility and commitment in both students and teachers.
