These are notes from my graduation; I will rewrite and refine them in English. For now, they are structured summaries of classes.

TL;DR

Overview

Course Files

• Available on Google Drive (above).
• Goal: Graduation notes to be rewritten and refined in English.

Flipped Classroom

Methodology

• Students study at home and complement in class.
• Tools: Khan Academy and reference videos (e.g., https://youtu.be/tSCN9nDNw_k).
• Tips:
  • Promote student protagonism.
  • Avoid overly complex lesson plans.
  • Use techniques like Odd One Out, KWL, and TBL.

Bloom’s Taxonomy

Focus

• Action verbs for lesson planning.
• Recommended reading: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UwGtcBcd0cOdZoPhLr4tdBvztITQHL-G/view?usp=sharing

Teaching Strategies

Groups and Spokespersons

• Start with groups and evolve to individual activities.
• “Mechanical” methods: show practical examples; mirror advanced students helping others.
• Globalizing focus: integrate knowledge across disciplines.

Thesis (TCC): Flipped Classroom Assisted by AI

Title

• “Implementing an AI-Assisted Flipped Classroom with Continuous Assessment: A Higher Education Case Study”.

2. Exam
3. Peer discussion
4. Immediate feedback
5. Problem solving
6. Topic wrap-up

Main

• For flipped classroom: https://www.khanacademy.org/teacher/dashboard
• The idea: students start at home (content and exercises) and, in class, consolidate. Also consider access equity for those who need to study in class.

Images and diagrams used across sections (references preserved):

• Bloom’s taxonomy
• Types of disciplinary relations
• Cooperative classroom structures

Suggested Practice Patterns

• Start in groups, progress to individual work; be firm initially to set expectations.
• Use Odd One Out, KWL, and TBL to activate prior knowledge, frame learning, and deepen practice.
• Keep a short, living roadmap; expect change as the course progresses.

Flipped Classroom with AI (Implementation Notes)

• Platform selection and personalization.
• Teacher training for AI tooling and flipped method.
• Feedback automation and continuous assessment.
• Data collection for evaluation and improvement.

Conclusion

These notes consolidate the main materials I used during the term (methods, neuroscience references, and practical classroom techniques). The objective is a pragmatic, structured approach that keeps students active, shortens feedback loops, and documents learning outcomes clearly.
