Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the incidence of Flipped Classroom in the development of covariational reasoning in engineering students. The study was conducted with 69 Environmental Engineering students from a Peruvian university’s Calculus I course. The results show that the use of the Flipped Classroom methodology allowed a significant improvement in the level of development of students' covariational reasoning. The visualization of the videos, the revision of the class guides and the contribution of new ideas or explanations or the formulation of questions, either to clarify some doubt or to expand some topic was what favored the management of the variation. The evaluation of the experience by the students was positive as it generated motivation and confidence to develop activities improving the communication process
