Traditional lesson, Flipped learning or AI? A research on the effectiveness of new teaching methodologies

Abstract

The inspiration for this work stems from research conducted by a group of scholars from the University of Seville, who proposed lessons on the same topic to their students using different approaches, in order to understand which was the most effective and most appreciated by the students themselves. Topics in music history were thus presented through a frontal lesson, with the flipped method and through digital learning, using the gamification methodology, complemented by ChatGPT. Contrary to what one might imagine, the students indicated that the traditional approach was the most effective and most appreciated. However, they were not asked ‘why’. The aim of this research is to further verify the effectiveness of certain teaching methodologies and to investigate the reasons why students recognise them as approaches in which they experience better learning.
