Benefits of the Flipped Classroom in Promoting the Learning of Healthy Habits

Abstract

The Flipped Classroom methodology has emerged as an innovative strategy that redefines the traditional teaching dynamic by empowering students with a more active role in their learning process. This review aims to examine the key benefits of the flipped classroom, particularly in relation to promoting autonomous learning, healthy habits, and physical education. Through a systematic analysis of academic literature published across various academic databases between 2015 and 2025, the findings suggest that the Flipped Classroom model facilitates more interactive and personalized learning, enhancing the understanding of concepts and encouraging more active student participation in their education. Furthermore, this approach promotes the development of essential skills such as autonomy, critical thinking, and self-regulation, while also increasing motivation to learn. In disciplines such as physical education and sports, the Flipped Classroom contributes to the assimilation of theories related to health and physical performance, enabling students to apply this knowledge practically and effectively. However, challenges were also identified, such as the need for proper preparation and use of educational materials, equitable access to the necessary technologies, and teacher training. In conclusion, when implemented properly, the Flipped Classroom has the potential to transform learning by not only promoting academic knowledge but also fostering the development of healthy habits and life skills.
