Flipped learning to strengthen reading comprehension in students at a university in Tarma, Peru

Abstract

The natural laws governing the development of societies demand constant innovations in all social spheres, especially in education. Flipped learning is a relevant pedagogical approach in today's university setting; it involves more than just reversing roles between teacher and student, representing a complete shift in paradigms and attitudes for both. The research aims to establish the influence of flipped learning on improving the reading comprehension of students entering professional schools of Administration, Nursing, and Agroindustrial Engineering at UNAAT. Methodologically, the research took a quantitative approach due to its applied nature, explanatory level, and quasi-experimental design. The methods employed included documentary review and experimentation. Pedagogical testing and questionnaires served as data collection instruments. Results indicated that flipped learning has significantly influenced students' reading comprehension. Furthermore, classrooms were identified as spaces for debates, teamwork, experimentation, product generation workshops, and the exclusive use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) as learning resources.
