  A flipped classroom was introduced in pre-service education in order to
promote MM and the quality of their use in the teaching and learning process in
laboratory. The course, Physics Lab Didactics, promoted active learning through
the direct experience of young teachers. The flipped classroom approach was
presented and discussed with the aim of clarifying the teaching process and
in-training teachers were invited to explore how to implement this methodology
in a class after their experience. Different open source or free software were
proposed (Audacity, Algodoo, GeoGebra and Tracker) with some examples of their
use in physics teaching. The discussion on their implementation as tools in
physics laboratory was postponed to the last lesson of the course. This pilot
study shows a great potentiality of the flipped classroom in pre-service
education and it indicates that the use of MM in laboratory learning process
can be improved following this approach.
