Abstract

The integration of new technologies in the educational field have strengthened the development of new pedagogical strategies such as the flipped classroom, in which self-regulated and active learning are fostered. Considering the advantages of this methodology, a strategy based on the flipped classroom was designed to develop the “convolution” topic in the subject of Signals and Systems I of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The strategy was implemented with 90 students. After the strategy implementation, students reported their perceptions towards the flipped classroom methodology and the educational resources proposed to support the strategy development. According to the results, students had an overall positive perception in relation to the methodology and the educational resources proposed. However, suggestions for improvement of the educational resources and considerations about logistic elements, were made by some students.
