Abstract

The present article was developed at the Polytechnics of Chimborazo in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador, with the objective of determining the relationship between the teaching model with the results of the summative and diagnostic evaluations obtained by the students, of the Thesis Design subject, of the Graphic Design Engineering career. For this quantitative study, a quasi-experimental design was used, in which a pre-test and post-test were applied, using the Likert-type data collection instrument previously validated by experts, on the perception of two teaching methods: the traditional one (focused on the teacher) and Flipped Learning, in a sample of thirty (30) students. The results had an important tendency to activities through Flipped Learning, highlighting the criteria that evaluated the link between the academic goals with the teaching model as well as the role of the teacher in promoting it. The conclusion is that it is necessary to constantly research educational innovations worldwide, in this sense, the Flipped Learning model was perceived satisfactorily by the students, due to the effectiveness of modifying the order of teaching processes and materials, which are important for the achievement of academic goals and the consolidation of learning.
