Abstract
JIMENEZ DAVILA, María Antonia et al. Chemistry and basic biomedical sciences. Technological alternative. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.4, pp. 571-582. Epub Aug 02, 2020. ISSN 1727-897X.
Foundation:
the Chemistry teaching-learning process requires constant updating in accordance with the demands of health professionals´ training.
Objective:
to develop a technological alternative which allows raising the learning level of chemical contents and their practical applications in the health field.
Methods:
A teaching support educational software was developed to link Chemistry with Basic Biomedical Sciences. Macromedia Flash was used as a design and assembly tool for different modules included in this product. The technological alternative was implemented in the Health Technology training programs that received Chemistry in the 2017-2018 academic year. A quasi experiment with an exit test was applied for the experimental group. Theoretical methods were used: historical-logical, inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic, systemic-structural-functional and empirical: documentary analysis, surveys, class observation, expert criteria. The participants signed the consent to collaborate and accepted the publication of its results with the guarantee of their anonymity.
Results:
the results of the quasi-experiment show a qualitative improvement in the students learning in the experimental group. Most of them were placed at a high level of learning by establishing the relationship between molecular cause-disease-practical application of the chemical contents.
Conclusions:
the implementation of this technological alternative in educational practice allowed raising the learning chemical content level in its practical application in the health field.
