In today's world, it is necessary for professionals to be prepared for the challenges that exist. To this end, during their training, it is essential to use methodologies that contribute to protagonism, so that students are ready to solve problems during their professional journey. Therefore, the use of active methodologies during teaching and learning is fundamental for students to have a leading role and confidence. These methodologies actively encourage critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving. The Inverted Classroom is one of the methodologies that contributes to student protagonism, making them active in the classroom and having greater knowledge retention and engagement. Based on the Self-Determination Theory, the main objective of this research is to analyze the perception of UFRN Accounting students in relation to the active Flipped Classroom methodology in the Business Practice I subject. To this end, the methodology used will be qualitative, descriptive with the application of a semi-structured interview applied to the focus group with 80 students from classes 2023.1 and 2024.1, to compare the use of active methodologies and the traditional method of teaching in the classroom, the sample will be non-probabilistic, with intentional sampling. The data will then be analyzed using Bardin's (2015) content analysis, which allows for a systematic and rigorous analysis of the data (Valle and Ferreira, 2023), using Atlas.ti software. The research will be triangulated using the following techniques: Observation, interview and focus group. This is characterized as a methodological triangulation (Santos, et al, 2020).
