Evaluation of an inverted class model based on learning objects (OA) to reduce student failure at the university level.

This project constitutes the continuation of 2 previous projects that result in winners of the XI and XII Contest of University Research Projects, financed by the Research Department of the University of Cuenca - Diuc, whose themes were "Constructionist teaching methodology for numerous groups at the university level" and "Methodology for the creation of digital educational material based on learning objects". The project aims to evaluate an inverted class model supported by education technologies in order to help reduce the student failure rate at the university level and substantially improve the academic performance of students when applied in a pilot subject in the Faculty of Engineering. To achieve this, a case study will be developed that allows to test the inverted class model for two semesters, and the evaluation will be carried out based on statistical analysis of a semester compared to that of the posterior semester in which the model is applied. As a result of applying this model, students can achieve significant and deeper learning, since the assimilation of the information occurs in the classroom and the transfer, outside of this. The use of the inverted class model will allow supporting compliance with article 15 of the new Academic Regime Regulation, complying with components 1, 2 and 3 [1] of said regulation.
