GUERRA PAREDES, Miriam Teresita et al. Methodological guidelines to the comprehensive seminars of Human Morphology-Physiology III subject in Medical Studies. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.6, pp.88-101. ISSN 1561-3194.

Introduction: the upgrading to teach Human Morphology and Physiology should be permanent when transmitting knowledge of basic sciences in Medicine. Objective: to evaluate the redesign of methodological guidelines to the upgrading of comprehensive seminars as a frequent evaluative activity for Human Morphology and Physiology III in medical studies. Material and method: empirical and theoretical methods together with procedures of descriptive statistics were used. The target group included the professors who teach the subject or those who had taught the subject of Human Morphology and Physiology III to the first academic year of Medical Studies during 2010-2011. Results: an association among the criteria of experts and professors teaching the subject was found in relation to the deficient design and preparation of comprehensive seminars, detected during the controls of lessons in addition to the responses given by the students. The methodological guidelines proposed were directed toward the achievement of an adequate performance of the teaching staff in the comprehensive seminars of Human Morphology-Physiology III favoring the improvement of their design and implementation. Conclusions: the experts prepared some recommendations toward the dissemination and use of an elaborated product by the teaching personnel who teach Human Morphology-Physiology III in Medical Studies, along with the development of workshops where the debate and deepening of some suggestions were included in the redesign.
