MarMagallón-Botaya, RosaOliván-Blázquez, BárbaraFlipped classroom and role-playing as active learning methods in the social work degree: randomized experimental studyART-2019-120260The inclusion of active learning methodologies in university degrees, such as Flipped Classroom and Role-playing require a higher degree of student involvement, greater dynamism in learning and increased content interaction. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom and Role-Playing (FC + RP) methods as compared to the traditional lecturer-based (LB) method, on the academic performance of social work students. It also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the FC + RP in terms of satisfaction with the subject and the method used, and finally, with respect to the perceived difficulty of each theoretical topic. The hypotheses stating that students using FC+RP methods obtained a higher academic performance, and a lower perception of difficulty of the content as compared to students using the traditional LB method were verified. However, it was not verified that students using FC + RP methods have greater satisfaction with the subject and the method used.2019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/9703010.1080/02615479.2019.1693532http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/97030oai:zaguan.unizar.es:97030info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-1-137Social Work Education 39, 7 (2019), 879-892All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
