VALDES MORENO, Jorge et al. Evaluation and development of logical and intellectual skills in medical students. Educ Med Super [online]. 2005, vol.19, n.1, pp. 1-1. ISSN 0864-2141.

An intervention experience was carried out for the development of the logical and intellectual skills of the first year medical students to define, compare and describe in the subjects of Cellular and Molecular Biology at "Salvador Allende" Faculty of Medical Sciences during the course 2002-2003. It was preceded by a diagnostic study in the course 2002-2003. . The efficacy in the strategy used to develop skills was confirmed, and a significant increase in its control was observed by comparing the initial test with the ordinary final test of Cellular and Molecular Biology. The results corroborated the need to utilize innovating didactic strategies that guarantee a teaching-learning process in accordance with the current demands.
