RODRIGUEZ-HEREDIA, Dunia et al. Test of the Flipped Classroom methodology in teaching of Chemistry for Mechanical Engineers. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.2, pp. 77-86.  Epub 10-Feb-2024. ISSN 1815-5944.

The inverted classroom or Flipped classroom is a methodology that allows the student to obtain information in a time and place that does not require the presence of the teacher, thus changing their traditional roles. The objective was to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the Flipped classroom as a teaching method for cognitive development in topic 3 of the chemical subject for Mechanical Engineering, at the Universidad de Oriente. The methodology was applied to 138 students in the 2021 and 2022 courses. Digital folders of topic 3 of the subject were prepared, containing videos obtained from YouTube, as well as orientation guides and other didactic materials made by the group of teachers. The techniques used were observation and survey. The results showed that the students were better prepared in the classes, more motivated with this learning methodology and they proposed to extend it to the other topics of the subject. The teaching results of topic 3 were better, compared to topics 1 and 2, in which the proposal was not applied. It is concluded that the methodology allows a greater acquisition of knowledge and encourages students to self-manage their learning and values such as responsibility.
