Abstract: Teaching methodologies have always been in constant evolution. So much so that in recent decades, and with the help of technological evolution, a considerable number of them have appeared. It is common for these methodologies to be used in primary and secondary compulsory education, with university education being somewhat removed from these procedures, although in recent years more and more teachers are interested in introducing these methods as far as possible.
Given the wide range of options when it comes to training students, and in line with current facilities to access the content from anywhere and at any time, the methodology “Flipped Classroom” is proposed as the innovative option for improving the teaching/learning process of the Power Electronics subject, which is part of the specific training module of the Degree in Industrial Electronics Engineering at the University of Malaga. This methodology focuses on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge prior to the class, reserving it to reinforce the knowledge acquired, with a more practical approach.
Thus, according to the bases of the methodology, the main work that is done is the creation of the material
prior to the class. For this purpose, fifteen videos are recorded covering all the theoretical contents that the
students must assimilate. These videos will act as guide elements in the theoretical learning before the class.


Key words: flipped classroom, power electronics, EHEA, educational innovation, teaching/learning process
