Design of an inverted classroom modality in the subject Molecular Bases of Cells and Tissues

Abstract

Introduction: The development of information and communication technologies has led to the advancement of the teaching process.  Among them, the inverted classroom modality, which is used in higher medical education around the world, contributes to improving educational practice and the cognitive independence of learners, in order to promote students responsibility for their own learning.

Objective: To design an inverted classroom method to be applied to the subject Molecular Bases of Cells and Tissues, it the first year of the Nursing Degree.

Methods: This work is in the line of qualitative research. The Desk Research methodology was used based on the review of studies on the topic and its subsequent analysis, which constituted the theoretical-methodological basis to design the inverted classroom modality, supported by the appropriate use of the information and communication technologies resources on the subject Molecular Bases of Cells and Tissues.

Results: The design of an inverted classroom modality was developed, supported by the information and communication technologies, which resulted in the creation of 14 short videos (between 12 and 16 minutes long), evaluative questionnaires and study guides— all of them used in face-to-face conferences at various times during the class.

Conclusions: It is expected, with the approval and implementation of the inverted classroom method, to raise the quality of the teaching results in students who receive this modality.
