A First Experience of Flipped Classroom in Numerical Analysis

Abstract

Flipped classroom is a pedagogical model that modifies the way that time is spent both in and outside the class, working with active learning, centered on the students. Do students accept flipping the classroom? What do they think about learning with recorded classes? These questions arise when the flipped model is to be implemented. A first experience of flipped classroom was carried out in a numerical analysis course at Facultad Regional San Nicolás, and students’ opinions about this experience were gathered, so as to determine the acceptability of this methodology. The experience showed a high degree of acceptance by the students with respect to the methodology of the flipped class. Students were satisfied with the videos presented, and in general they preferred to work on their own in class, with the assistance of the faculty.
