The covid-19 pandemic has led to the incorporation of novel teaching methods, such is the case of the flipped classroom strategy, which, through the incorporation of videoconferencing elements and previous readings, allows transmitting knowledge with greater flexibility and allows the student to appropriate it. This study investigates the effects of the inverted classroom on the perception of basic education students during the current pandemic. The sample consisted of 16 students between the ages of 9 and 10 years old in the 2020-2021 academic year (Tolcayuca, Hidalgo, Mexico). Identical surveys were administered and examined through descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests. Statistically significant differences were found between pre- and post-tests: students improved in the latter. Most students had a positive perception of the flipped classroom; the advantage of hands-on activities in class is highlighted, as well as greater autonomy in learning.
