Desarrollo de competencias profesionales en biomedicina utilizando el aprendizaje basado en proyectos

subject

description

[EN] Professional competences in the field of experimental sciences are acquired through the practice of professional practice. In the university environment, the knowledge, skills and abilities in the different undergraduate subjects are taught in a parceled manner. Our 45 students biotechnology studies in Catholic University of Valencia, during the internship repeat protolocos and follow a recipe to perform an experiment that exemplifies the fundamental contents of the subject being taught. The aboradaje of this work is based on project-based learning. The student has to elaborate a biotechnological project from beginning to end. The project is based on the construction of a non-viral vector for immunotherapy, which ranges from the timing of the experiments to the preparation of the article that should represent the result of their learning. The student has to elaborate his protocols, calculate the times, synchronize the crops and use different techniques learned in previous courses. This experience, close to the future reality, forces him to work on the competences of diverse asignturas of the degree, not only immunology. The advantages offered by this type of work is to increase the autonomy in the laboratory and put into practice what was learned during the degree so that their learning is meaningful.
