The test deployment (2)
• Great flexibility on how to flip• Different levels of flipping
– Polimedia videos/Screencast– PDFs– Lab Exercises– Etc.
• Students choose flipped/not flipped for ALL courses• Same assessment than the other students
– Classical group– Flipped group

Evaluation
• Continuous evaluation during the experience
• Two panels– Teachers’ panel– Students’ panel
• Quantitative results
Universitat Politècnica de València
www.upv.es
Teachers’ panel
• Pros– Better preparation of materials and lectures (both teachers and
students)– Students got more involved, prepared and motivated– Good classroom atmosphere.– “I can design more attractive class activities”
• Improvements for the next year– Preparation of teachers to apply this methodology.– Students have to be motivated for self-study and previous work– Smaller groups (ideally 30)
Universitat Politècnica de València
www.upv.es
Students’ panel. Flipped Teaching is different
• “… having the course flipped enables the teacher to do different things”
• “… I get more from the classroom time, so I had to study less before the exam”
• “… I get the syllabus more structured, and I do in small steps but at the end I learn more”
• “Working before the lecture time is a must”
Universitat Politècnica de València
www.upv.es
Students’ panel . They like videos
• “ … I didn’t feel dificulties, I watched the video, send the quiz and that’s all”
• “As the videos got recorded, I can go back and review after the classroom time”
• “… with the videos I don’t need to open a book”
Universitat Politècnica de València
www.upv.es
Students’ panel . They think they learn more
• “… if I study each day I learn more ;-)”• “… I think we are better prepared that my
colleagues from the classical group in the practical aspects”
• “…I feel that the continuous evaluation helps to remember more things on the long term”
Universitat Politècnica de València
www.upv.es
Students’ panel . Lights and shadows
• “… I like working in small groups in the lecture hall”• “…I feel that continuous evaluation is a bit
stressing” • “… some teachers understood the Project in a
different way that others”• “... I would have preferred to have teaching as
usual” but “… has been a good experience for me, I would like to have flipped for all my courses”

Conclusions
• Good acceptance by teachers despite the increased workload.
• Great acceptance by students despite the increased workload…– …and the fact that they have to pass the same test than other groups.
• Preliminary results suggest that the best students improve their grades…– …although perhaps the not-so-good ones got worse results
So, we move on for the 2015-2016 year
