SANABRIA CASTILLO, Marisol; SANCHEZ BENITEZ, Mario; AGUILERA CARDONA, Adilen  and  FRANCO PEREZ, Paz Maritza. Complementary booklet for the teaching of Physics I in the biomedical basic sciences residences. Rev EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.3, pp. 121-134. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: the Medical Physics uses its background in multiple therapeutic techniques and it provides the bases for the compression of modern medical technologies with usage criteria in the health area. Objective: to elaborate a complementary booklet as a material aid to Physics I in the specialties of the biomedical basic sciences. Methods: it was carried out a longitudinal descriptive research work in Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, from 2012 to 2013. Theoretical methods were used: historical-logical, analytic-synthetic, inductive-deductive and systemic-structural; and empiric ones: documental analysis of the program Physics I and Human Anatomy and Physiology in the residences to corroborate the subjects interrelation and to determine the essential content cores; the survey to the residents to check their knowledge level on Physics I, and to the professors to know which contents of their subjects are linked with Physics. Results: it was evidenced a lack of bibliographical updating on the Physics contents in the specialties. The questionnaire to the residents corroborated the topics with more difficulties: Newton´s laws, oscillations and waves, and circular movement; they outlined the necessity to link Physics I with the physiologic and anatomical processes of the human body. The professors expressed that the topics of their subjects are related with Physics, and that it would be beneficial an interdisciplinary methodological treatment. A Complementary material aid booklet was elaborated for teaching with contents of the subject and a system of exercises. Conclusions: the elaborated material was valued by the specialists as useful and pertinent, for the updating of its contents and methodological treatment.
