• MetodologiaMethodology

  A flipped classroom is a teaching method with direct, teacher-led instruction through videos and texts. Class time is then used to develop exercises, discuss, and seek support from the teacher. This practice is student-centered and allows for group discussions, problem-solving, and collaborative projects, guided by the instructor. This approach shifts the student's role from passive receiver to active learner and allows for a more personalized understanding and comprehension of the material.
