UNAD is the public distance university with the largest coverage in Colombia. Inside the basic sciences department there is a biology course. Within this there is the practical component, whose purpose is to review in person and in practice the topics addressed in the virtual campus. This research investigates the possible differences between the application of the traditional pedagogical model and flipped learning model within the practical component of biology. To evaluate the appropriation of concepts, standardized tests were carried out on the students at the end of each session and at the end of all the practices a Likert-type survey of learning perception was applied. Regarding the results, with the data obtained from the standardized tests, the Shapiro-Wilks and Man Whitney U statistical tests are carried out, and what was obtained in the learning perception survey is also described. Very similar results are obtained in the application of the traditional model and flipped learning, no significant differences are found. It is concluded that in the case of the practical component of the UNAD Biology course, the applied pedagogical model is not relevant; for students, the physical and motivational interaction with the tutor is probably more relevant.
