Abstract:

The Flipped Classroom is a methodology that reverses teaching-learning activities, bringing the classroom into the home and the home into the classroom. Current literature focuses on the technologies used in the flipped classroom, the comparison of educational outcomes between the flipped classroom and the face-to-face or online classroom (e.g., midterm and final exam scores, activity performance, and participation rate). However, only a few of them focus on pedagogical understanding and how the flipped classroom engages students in learning. This paper aims to complement this gap by explaining how to incorporate videos that enable meaningful learning within the Flipped Classroom methodology.

This paper begins with a review of the current literature on flipped classroom design, the use of videos in classrooms in different educational contexts. In addition, it analyzes how to incorporate and what elements should be taken into consideration to include youtube videos within the methodology, and to promote an understanding of a specific topic prior to attending classes, whether they are face-to-face or virtual. Finally, a good practice and some guidelines are suggested in the elaboration of an educational and interactive video for its implementation in the classroom.
