Abstract
This action research project explores the use of a flipped classroom model for pre-service
teachers in Venezuela. After struggling with an insufficient allocation of class time for teacher
training courses and a lack of critical engagement in the classroom, the researcher chose to
implement a flipped classroom approach. In particular, research looked at the impact of a flipped
classroom model on the development of student questioning skills. Data collected through
surveys, journals, and analysis of classwork suggest that students in this context responded
positively to the implementation of a flipped classroom. In-class student questioning increased,
and level of critical inquiry in the classroom overall was impacted positively. This research
suggests that the flipped classroom model may be one way to strengthen student engagement and
critical questioning skills in an in-service teacher training context.
