Abstract

The objective of this essay was to explore the impact of the flipped classroom methodology on teaching-learning in university technical education in the face of the challenges and opportunities of the digital era recognized for effective implementation. In this sense, the methodological, technological and pedagogical foundations of the flipped classroom, capacity for autonomous learning, personal and cooperative relationships were developed, following the appropriation of a documentary investigation, with the technique of signing, bibliographic selection and then, analysis of the contents. Some conclusive elements were recognized in student participation as a core aspect, supported by the effective use of digital resources, in addition to the positive impact on motivation and commitment to complete the pursuit of tasks, which contributes to their autonomous learning. However, the effectiveness in the successful implementation of this methodology depends on the independent capacity to learn as active agents of one's own education, the design of the courses, resources, infrastructure geared to communication, interaction, environment, culture, instruction, as pedagogical challenges. From a prospective perspective, this essay envisions the development of skills for the 21st century, focused on autonomous learning, problem solving, effective communication, personalization of learning, active participation by increasing interest and motivation in technical content, from flexibility in delivery, creation of hybrid learning environments, effective use of technological resources, metacognition and the development of learning communities.
