A flipped classroom of spectroscopy: an experience within the framework of an Excellence Program for High School

Abstract

A didactic experience addressed to a class of outstanding college students of Madrid (Spain) is presented in this work. The instruction was devoted to spectroscopy analysis techniques following a flipped classroom model i.e. some experimental activities such as a home spectroscope preparation were carried out. After the instruction, the students’ perception of the activities and the proposed learning-teaching model was analysed trough a satisfaction survey. Although there is a positive assessment of the new methodology, its application to other subjects must be reconsidered taking into account the confusion created in the students.
