This paper proposes the use of flipped classroom and team-based learning methodologies to improve students’ learning attitudes in large groups of students retaking a subject —the so-called Groups of Intensive Study (GIS). GISs are designed for those students who repeat a subject in one of the degrees offered by the Faculty of Economics and Business at the Universitat de Barcelona. We have implemented both methodologies in three GISs taught by the Economic Theory section of the Department of Economics of the University of Barcelona. The results obtained in the academic years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 reveal significant improvements in the performance of the students who followed these methodologies.References
