ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES: ANALYSIS OF CONTEXT AND THE IMPLICATION IN THE USE OF TWO DIFFERENT METHODS

Abstract

Active methodologies are being used to teach different contents to business students. Most studies compare traditional and active methods. The shift between the lecture centered to the student center methods, however, does not occur lightly. Our purpose is to describe points of attention when applying active methodologies to business under graduation students. We carry two intrinsic case studies that when read may improve teachers and facilitators to change their strategy in the classroom. We describe two different active methodologies of teaching/learning the Flipped Classroom and an Integrated Leadership Program. We found out that the context and history of students with the methodology is a key point for its acceptance. Also, the preparation of the class and the transparency with the methodology are essential for its functionality.
