Abstract:
In recent academic years, the Blended General Didactics course of the Degree course in Primary Education has tried to renew the teaching and learning methods. In addition to increasing the actions and materials carried out within the moodle space, an aspect that was taken into account was that related to the face-to-face lessons. In these lessons the choice of new materials and more interactive methodologies led to the identification of the flipped lesson as one of the methodologies with more potential. The desire to activate more incisively the participation of students, who are mostly workers in this particular course, was one of the points taken into account to initiate this change. A necessary element to deepen this change was the comparison with the other experiences related to these proposals realized both in the various Universities and in the secondary schools of the second degree. This comparison allowed us to reflect on the potential of the new teaching methods and on the effects of change.
