ALBERRO FERNANDEZ, Marianela et al. Determination of the level of methodological preparation of the professors to develop integrative teaching tasks in Morphology-physiology. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.1, pp. 15-27. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: the teaching task constitutes the core of the teaching-learning process, that´s why its elaboration and use constitute premises for the good performance of the school. Objective: to determine the current state of the professor's methodological preparation to develop integrative teaching tasks in the Morphology-physiology discipline. Methods: it was carried out a cross-sectional descriptive investigation; the study population comprised the professors that impart the Morphology-physiology discipline in the south area of Ciego de Avila University of Medical Sciences. Theoretical methods were applied: historical-logical, analytic-synthetic and inductive-deductive; empiric: documental analysis, observation to classes and a survey in questionnaire form was applied to the professors and an interview was applied to key informants. Results: the integrative teaching task has not constituted an element of priority in the professor's preparation, some of them don't keep in mind its algorithm during the design, orientation, execution and control stages; there isn´t enough continuity of alike topics and some inadequacies in the mastery of contents, mainly of those that are not closely related to teaching specialties. Conclusions: the identified limitations for the development of teaching tasks affect the integration that the subjects within the Morphology-physiology discipline should have and with the integrating discipline Comprehensive General Medicine, to achieve an interdisciplinary approach in the formation of the medical sciences student.
