The Flipped class in the learning processes of Social Work students: an experience on the theory-practice relationship

Abstract

Introduction: The incorporation of active and participatory methodologies in the teaching-learning processes encourage the acquisition of competences related to know-how and know-how to be. Methodology: The objectives of the research are: (1) to analyse the impact of the inverted seminar methodology on the assimilation of practical theoretical contents and (2) to assess the degree of learning of the contents of the subject Introduction to Social Work Models by Social Work students. A mixed methodology is used through an online satisfaction questionnaire and content analysis of the work done by students who have taken this subject during the 22-23 and 23-24 academic years. Results: the incorporation of innovative and participatory methodologies contribute to theoretical-practical learning and collaborative and critical group work. Discussion: The participating students assume the importance of theory in social intervention, and identify those models that must be transversal in professional practice. Conclusions: We conclude the importance of implementing active and participatory methodologies since, as in the case of the subject described here, the acquisition of content that is directly related to future professional practice is satisfactorily achieved.
