How to Solve the Problems of Flipped Teaching Applied to Projects

Abstract

The flipped classroom model has become very popular in the last five years. The benefits of adopting this methodology can be very attractive for those teachers willing to improve both the engagement of the students and their academic results. However, there are some risks that should be known before transforming a traditional class into a flipped one. In this paper a set of guidelines for applying the flipped model to project-based courses is provided. These recommendations are the result of the lessons learned in a pilot experience with a secondary school that may be useful for other teachers and scholars.
