Abstract

The development of Learning Objects (LO) for the comprehensive teaching of Histology is a research project that aims to complement the conventional teaching of medical sciences with the technological support of virtual environments.

In its initial stage, the recipient of the research results is the academic unit of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS); but in general, these products can be extended to scholars in the area of ​​medical sciences through their transfer to an LO repository for use by participants.

Additionally, the construction of the object of study comes to resume the need for educational innovation required by the pedagogical and disciplinary training of physicians who graduate from the UAS. It is about giving a specific response to the development of generic, professional and labor competencies of a health professional who manages to develop the ability to learn to learn through collaborative work with the support of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT).

The above assumes that the philosophy of health sciences is maintained, in the sense of a humanistic education that aims at the prevention and care of human health based on cutting-edge knowledge in the field of the specialty, while being supported by a cutting-edge technological infrastructure; all of this oriented towards quality medical training. To this end, the project was integrated into three stages:

The design, development, implementation and evaluation of OA for the teaching of Histology with the support of educational multimedia;

The design of student-centered teaching strategies that allow the understanding of the subject of Histology in a more innovative way with the achievement of significant learning; and
The implementation of a technological platform where the OA are installed and the student-centered teaching strategies are specified in such a way that the hybridization of conventional teaching and the support of a virtual environment make possible a comprehensive learning of the subject contents.

The feedback from the three moments mentioned above contributes to the continuous improvement of the teaching-learning process of the Histology subject, an experience that can be considered as a pilot study so that - based on its results - this educational innovation can be generalized in the curricular reform of the Medicine degree at the UAS.
