Resumen

The flipped classroom teaching-learning method encourages participatory, effortful, and collaborative activities before, during, and outside the classroom. For this reason, the application of the flipped classroom was proposed in the development of skills for the home control of mosquitoes of importance for public health at the National Autonomous University of Chota, Camarja, Peru. The study was experimental with a sample of 72 students. For data collection, the didactic strategy of the Flipped Classroom Model was applied in two stages (pre and post test). The SPSS software was used for medians and the Wilcoxon test considering an alpha of 5%. As a result, in the post-test on the risk factors identified at home, significant changes were evidenced, where 72.22% identified exposed water storage containers, 51.39% Jars/bottles/containers with stagnant water, 45 83% pools without cleaning, 29.17% tires/outdoor debris with stagnant water, 26.39% vases with old water, 20.83% holes/cracks with stagnant water, 12.50% others and 8.33 % did not identify any factor, the comparison of the average score in skills for home control of mosquitoes, before and after the application of the flipped classroom in the Wilcoxon Test showed a z of -4.81 in the dimension of identifying, - 4,860 propose and -4,862 act, all with p 0.000% (highly significant difference). The flipped classroom method through interactive practical methods contributes significantly to the development of skills for home control of mosquitoes of public health importance.
