Background:

Higher education carries out profound transformations that become a key factor for the implementation of necessary processes in the face of world challenges.

Objective:

to develop a teaching aid for the teaching - learning of the hemolinfopoietic system, with emphasis on the spread of peripheral blood in the Clinical Bioanalysis degree.

Methods:

a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2017-to February 2018, at the “Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja” Technological Faculty of the “Carlos J. Finlay” Camagüey University of Medical Sciences. Theoretical methods were used: analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive; Empirical ones: observation to classes, the survey in the form of teacher interviews and the exploratory test to students; and mathematical-statistics for the calculation of the absolute frequencies and the percentage. The product was valued by criteria of specialists.

Results:

inadequacies in the teaching-learning process were evidenced by teachers to work in a comprehensive way on the cognitive processes on peripheral blood as a way to analyze hematopoietic cells; Among the students, the incorrect use of techniques and procedures prevailed in the analysis and in the preparation of the reports based on the observation and interpretation of peripheral blood spreads as an essential component of Hematology.

Conclusions:

a teaching aid was developed that was assessed by criteria of specialists in the categories of very adequate and adequate in all the proposed indicators, so it was considered feasible to be applied.
