Effect of the Use of Videos in the Pre-Class Preparation of Laboratory Sessions Taught by Flip Teaching

Abstract

Nowadays, it is well stablished the effectiveness of flip teaching in different areas. Video is widely used as a pre-class learning material and it is progressively replacing text-document materials. The students, 70 in total, are enrolled in the laboratory practice of the subject of Physics (Bachelor's Degree: Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering) at the Universitat Politècnica de València. Student's perception data were collected from the results of a survey. Students were asked about the usefulness of the videos and the in-class work, paying special attention to the roll of the instructor in relation to the flip teaching methodology and the pre-class material. The students were divided into two groups. In one of them, the videos were recorded by the same instructor present at the lab session, whereas the other group, the videos used were recorded by instructors different from the instructor present at the lab. The results indicate that students feel that the videos are very useful, rather than the written documents. They attribute a high value to the instructor in the lab session as they feel more confident with their work and they can ask for help when needed. They value positively the possibility of work autonomously. Small differences have been found in the opinion of both groups being the higher in the question that concerns the preference of the videos respect to the text.

El aula invertida, una metodología eficaz en la construcción del conocimiento en el campo del cálculo diferencial

“…Con este enfoque, las matemáticas no han sido la excepción en la aplicación de esta metodología; a la hora de aprovechar las ventajas del aula invertida, varios trabajos han sido desarrollados desde este enfoque, entre los cuales podemos mencionar algunos de ellos: el aula invertida a participantes de una clase de matemática (Amstelveen, 2019;Bhagat et al, 2016). La participación de estudiantado en el aula invertida en clases de prácticas de laboratorio se puede hallar en (Gómez-Tejedor et al, 2020;Meseguer-Dueñas et al, 2020). Así como la aplicación del aula invertida en estudios tecnológicos (Mestre-Mestre et al, 2015).…”
