FRANCO PEREZ, Paz Maritza  and  GUEVARA COUTO, María del Carmen. Human Morpho-physiology: a recurring problem in scientific biomedical sciences. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.4, pp. 81-99. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: trends in contemporary higher education have become decisive factors in curriculum redesigns to conduct medical education to a higher step. Objective: to investigate how scientific research has dealt with the Human Morpho- physiology discipline and its advertising in informative spaces. Methods: a literature search was carried out Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, whose study object was the scientific articles published until May 2016, on Human Morpho-physiology discipline. Theoretical methods were used: historical and logical analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction; and empirical: the documentary analysis of articles of several Cuban authors. Results: 43 scientific articles published, most of them in Higher Medical Education, EDUMECENTRO and MEDISAN were found. The most repeated aspects were learning resources formed through the use of Information and Communications Technology, Professor component, forms of teaching organization, assessment and implementation and improvement of the discipline. Most items come from the project Comprehensive Community Medicine and the New Medical Training Program and the universities of Havana, Villa Clara and Santiago de Cuba. Conclusions: Human Morphophysiology has been studied in various investigations by authors committed to the development of this discipline; Articles have addressed different aspects of the teaching-learning process underpinning the opinion of researchers, however, published research are insufficient by their teaching scope.

Keywords : Research; Morphophysiology; learning-teaching process; education, medical.
