ORDAZ HERNANDEZ, Eva; HERNANDEZ DOMINGUEZ, Laura; RODRIGUEZ PERERA, Eva and ORDAZ HERNANDEZ, Mayra. A methodological proposal for a lecture about "Education in Work". Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.4, pp. 51-60. ISSN 1561-3194.
The main contradiction in the object of Didactics is between the demands the society establishes in learning and the level students achieve at a given moment along the teaching-learning process. The solution for this contradiction is the motivation of this process. For the purpose of contributing to this process, a methodological proposal for a lecture about " Education in Work " was created to form Comprehensive Specialists in Dentistry. In the content of this analytic syllabus the objectives are properly set up per academic years and modules, but not per themes. The thematic objective was created taking into account its function: to achieve gradual transformations in the systems of knowledge and skills in residents; as well as in the attitudes, convictions, feelings, ideas and values. Problematic methods were carefully observed and a clinical method was analyzed from a didactic point of view. This approach favours current educational paradigm - learning to learn and learning doing - under the guide of whoever teaches. A system of teaching tasks was prepared. These tasks constitute a way to pinpoint the object of study. It motivates cognitive independence, a creative individual, integrity, active and conscious character. Concluding that, when this approach was adopted, professor's responsibility towards thinking of objective terms increased, allowing this way , that the residents in the specialty go beyond learning through associations to create own ideas.
