Abstract:

The process of teaching at university is changing, but not as fast as desired. Professors do not take full advantage of the potential of the available technology. Today's students have grown up with technology, and they handle it naturally, it is part of their lives. This fact must be considered in the moment of the design of the class, as students no longer want to be mere spectators; they want to participate in other ways, more actively.

Flipped classroom is a methodology that suits what students demand. It promotes an active and significative learning, centered on the student. It consists in taking outside of the class contents that in general are taught passively, and devote class time to active tasks. An attractive way to offer the material to study at home is through videos.

The methodology of flipped classroom is being implemented and tested since 2016 as part of the research project “Test and analysis of the impact of the flipped classroom model in engineering courses”, which is being held at Facultad Regional San Nicolás, Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Argentina.

This paper will show the results obtained in the progressive implementation of flipped classroom in the chair Numerical Analysis of third year of Industrial Engineering at Facultad Regional San Nicolás.
