Flipped classroom and the reading comprehension

Abstract

Education evolves according to the advances in technology and students and teachers must adapt to new ways of teaching. One of the best teaching approaches in virtual and face-to-face modalities is the flipped classroom. The aim of this research was to determine the benefits of using the flipped classroom in teaching reading skills. This study was a quasi-experimental research with 8 participants, second-year high school students of the Unidad Educativa "Nueva Era". The investigation was in face-to-face modality. It lasted 5 sessions at the high school. Students took a pre-test and a posttest designed by Cambridge. The data obtained were analyzed using the T-student. Finally, the results showed that the use of the flipped classroom in the group of students of the Unidad Educativa "Nueva Era" had good results in the reading tests taken.
