physicscentral Welcome to the Chemical Education Digital Library » Biblioteca Innovación Educativa ¿Cómo puede un solo profesor atender, de forma personalizada, a un grupo numeroso de alumnos muy diferentes? ¿Cómo ganar tiempo para acompañar el progreso de cada alumno, a costa de la parte más expositiva de la clase? ¿Qué pasaría si esa parte se grabara en vídeo para verlo en casa, como tarea, y luego se dedicara la clase al trabajo directo con los alumnos? A partir de preguntas como estas nació la “clase al revés”, que nos propone “dar la vuelta” a la enseñanza tradicional y desplazar la atención del docente al alumno y su aprendizaje. El alumno estudia en casa, a su propio ritmo, y el profesor dedica el tiempo de clase a atender dudas, generar dinámicas participativas y ofrecer a los alumnos la oportunidad de acercarse a los contenidos de la manera más acorde con su forma personal de aprender. De este modo se favorece una educación más personalizada, a la medida de las necesidades de cada alumno. Jonathan Bergmann es profesor de Ciencias en Estados Unidos. Los autores Robert J.
