Proposal for a Flipped Classroom Program with Massive Open Online Courses to Improve Access to Information and Information Literacy in Primary School Teachers Lendínez Turón, Ana Ortiz Marcos, José Manuel Lorenzo Quiles, Oswaldo Fernández Otoya, Fiorela Anaí MOOC Flipped classroom Information This work has been made possible thanks to the financing of CONCYTEC through the PRO-CIENCIA program under the initiative “Proyectos de Investigación Aplicada en Ciencias Sociales” according to contract [PE501078687-2022-PROCIENCIA]. The APC was financed by PROCIENCIA CONCYTEC and by the authors. We gratefully acknowledge the financial and administrative support of the Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo (USAT) in Peru and the Universidad de Granada (UG) in Spain The objective of this study was to propose a teacher training program based on the flipped classroom model with MOOCs to strengthen access to information and information literacy among primary education teachers in the Lambayeque region of Peru. The non-experimental design was assumed with a quantitative approach and a propositional, descriptive type. A diagnosis was made using a questionnaire given to 917 primary school teachers. It was discovered that nearly all of the items in the questionnaire revealed a deficiency in the ability to navigate, search, and filter information, data, and digital content; the highest percentages were at the Basic level, with the exception of the item expressing information needs in an organized manner, which was at the Advanced C2 level. The lowest percentage was at the Advanced C1 level, and the majority of the lower percentages were at the Advanced level. In addition, there are competency deficiencies in the evaluation of information, data, and digital content of nearly all the items: the highest percentages were at the Basic level, with the exception of the item involving the processing of information, data, and digital content, where 26.4% were at the Intermediate B1 level and just 2.8% managed to be at the highest level, which is Advanced C2. Furthermore, when it came to storage and retrieval of information, data, and digital content competency, all the high percentages were at the Basic level, and all the low percentages were at the highest level, that is, Advanced. These findings helped us to understand that teachers have only a basic knowledge of information literacy and information competency. As a result, it is necessary to advocate for a teacher training program based on the flipped classroom model with MOOCs. This idea was supported by the opinions of five experts, who stated that its implementation would enable primary teachers of Regular Basic Education in the region of Lambayeque (Peru) to develop their access to information and information literacy competency area. 2024-07-24T10:44:08Z 2024-07-24T10:44:08Z 2024-05-15 journal article Lendínez Turón, A.; Ortiz Marcos, J.M.; Lorenzo Quiles, O.; Fernández-Otoya, F.A.
