The flipped classroom in higher education: An effective model for promoting active participation and meaningful learning

<h2>Resumen</h2> <p>The flipped classroom model has established itself as an innovative strategy in higher education, fostering active participation and deeper learning. This approach transforms traditional teaching by shifting theoretical instruction outside the classroom, using digital resources such as videos, interactive readings, and dynamic presentations. Its implementation aims to empower students, making them active participants in their learning while leveraging technological tools and collaborative methodologies. By reorganising class time for practical activities, it strengthens key skills such as critical thinking, academic autonomy, and problem-solving. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study confirms that the flipped classroom enhances academic performance, as students arrive better prepared for in-person sessions. Furthermore, this approach develops essential competencies such as autonomy, teamwork, and critical analysis.</p>
