description The flipped classroom has become a fundamental methodological option in recent years to provide more personalized education opportunities. The aim of this study is to investigate the academic performance and the perception of the students on the flipped classroom model (FCM) in a course of Didactics of Music in Childhood Education. One of the two groups enrolled in this subject received a quarter of classroom hours. A total of 51 students were selected by means of convenience random sampling, who were divided during a semester into an experimental group (n = 24, flipped classroom methodology) and a control group (n = 27, traditional methodology). Using ANOVA and ANCOVA models and cumulative ordinal categorical models with various functions of the statistical software R, the results indicate that the group has studied under a traditional methodology showed statistically significant differences in the variables of learning climate, self-efficacy and cognitive commitment, but with no impact on academic performance. Students who have studied under the flipped classroom model achieved higher academic performance globally. At the end of the study, the results obtained in the light of other similar investigations are discussed.
