Resumen

There are several works that analyze the problem as- sociated with the use of the Flipped Classroom in Higher Education. In this context, each subject where it is applied presents characteristics and needs, but the experience acquired may be useful in other subjects and studies of similar characteristics. This article pre- sents the academic experiences in the Software Engi- neering course of the Telematics Engineering Degree at the Universitat de València when applying the Flipped Classroom methodology in combination with Project Based Learning (PBL). The problems detected as well as the applied strategies to solve them are also described. These strategies include aspects such as space distribution in classroom to promote collabora- tive work, the use of gamification and peer learning techniques or offering students the possibility to work like in a real-world company. The article presents the evolution in student satisfaction and performance throughout the different courses in which the Flipped Classroom has been used. The results suggest that the selected strategy has a direct impact on students’ per- ception and satisfaction. Moreover, their satisfaction degree can significantly affect the Dropout Rate, alt- hough not the Success Rate. Completely detailing teaching staff work is essential for students to under- stand their role in the learning process, in order to avoid unfulfilled expectations and dissatisfaction. The analysis performed in this paper could be helpful for successfully introduce the Flipped Classroom in other subjects.
