makes the student the protagonist of their learning. The general objective of this research is
to contribute through the flipped classroom method to provide a meaningful learning in the
subject of social studies. On the other hand, the specific objectives are to diagnose the
relationship between the inverted classroom and evocative learning in the subject of social
studies; additionally, to identify how the inverted classroom affects the learning of students.
The type of study is descriptive with a non-experimental; which has a mixed approach;
moreover, various methods were used as well, such as descriptive, analytical, synthetic,
hermeneutic and descriptive statistics. The techniques used were: observation, interview and
survey; as instruments: observation form and questionnaires; the participant population
consisted of 20 students and one teacher. It can be deduced that flipped classroom has an
impact on students' significant learning, having students as the main characters of their own
education, they require an adaptation process where they adapt, that implies students are able
to work on their autonomy, becoming a self-taught entity, if there is no such acclimatization
the student will not be able to respond positively to the use of the methodology, and will be
unable to construct meaningful learning.
Keywords: flipped classroom; active methodology; meaningful learning; autonomy; social
studies.
INTRODUCCIÓN
La educación actual requiere un cambio de paradigma que sitúe al estudiante en el centro de
su proceso formativo, otorgándole autonomía y protagonismo, de manera que, sea capaz de
fortalecer su identidad e independencia, consolidándose como el responsable de su propio
aprendizaje, siendo el encargado de revisar los contenidos, participar de manera activa en el
salón de clases y aplicar lo aprendido en su vida cotidiana.
Aula invertida es una metodología activa que desde hace años se ha venido implementando
progresivamente en el ámbito educativo, su importancia radica en que busca relegar prácticas
educativas tradicionales, donde el docente se constituía como el protagonista principal del
proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
El concepto aula invertida fue acuñado por primera vez en el año 2000 con el nombre de
Inverted Classroom por Maureen Lage, Gleen Platt y Michael Treglia, investigadores y
profesores de economía en la Universidad de Miami, quienes dieron a conocer mediante un
artículo que, «Inverting the classroom means that events that have traditionally taken place
inside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and viceversa» (Lage et al., 2000,
