GOMEZ ESTACIO, Lien; CARBO AYALA, José Eugenio  and  ESPINO MORALES, Lillien. Morphological images set for the study of the respiratory system in Dentistry. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.3, pp. 188-205. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: technological teaching aids constitute a learning resource widely used at present in the medical sciences. Objective: to develop a morphological image set on the subject respiratory system that contributes to the development of skills in Dentistry students. Methods: a developmental research was carried out in the field of learning resources, at Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences Dentistry Faculty, from September 2015 to May 2016. Theoretical methods were used: Historical-logical, from concrete to abstract, inductive-deductive, analytic-synthetic, etc. And empirical ones: documentary analysis, observation of teaching activities and the survey in interview form to key informants. Results: a deficit of anatomical images was observed regarding different systems, including the respiratory one, which undermines the quality of teaching activities, so a computing product was designed based on the teaching program of the subject Morphology-physiology IV, which was assessed by specialists´ criteria. Conclusions: it turned out to be a simple, attractive and easy-to-use tool due to the scientific nature of its content, the quality of its images and the possibilities of interaction that it offers, besides facilitating the achievement of practical skills in the academic training of Dentistry students; it was assessed by specialists as relevant, useful and feasible in its usage.
