INTRODUCTION: The Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) methodology uses a strategy called “Mirror classroom”, where two or more teachers and students from different teaching institutions can share a course through the use of technological tools. The rise of the COIL methodology increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, once Higher Education Institutions had to develop support strategies in digital formats to give continuity to the academic mobility processes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to present the COIL strategy as a hybrid education method that facilitates learning and peer interaction in a class at the Faculty of Medicine of a University in Colombia. METHODOLOGY: For the realization of the collaborative experience, the students with their groups must carry out a bibliographical search in databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase) related to the topic under discussion related to genes, nutrition, and obesity. Based on the information they compiled, they will have to create a creative infographic where they will expose the importance of genetic expression and its relationship to the obesity process. Finally, make a video exposing the results of the research carried out. CONCLUSION: The international collaborative work methodology is an educational strategy that allows the development of soft skills in students and teachers, and the development of teamwork skills, among many others. This type of education allows interpersonal relationships with people who have different locations worldwide.
Introducción: En un país multicultural como Colombia, la etnoeducación es un importante elemento en la educación médica, pues favorece la calidad de vida de minorías étnicas a partir de potencialidades comunitarias, prácticas, hábitos, experiencias y enfoques que promuevan el sentido global de la salud. El objetivo de este artículo fue realizar una revisión narrativa sobre los antecedentes de la etnoeducación y su impacto en la salud. El desarrollo de competencias interculturales en los estudiantes del área de la salud permitiría a los futuros profesionales desempeñar su rol con adecuada pertinencia cultural, respetando los valores, tradiciones e historia de las comunidades. Temas tratados: A nivel mundial, la etnoeducación ha sido un aspecto relevante, organizaciones internacionales han trabajado durante décadas para su implementación. A nivel nacional, se han creado diversos instrumentos normativos y reglamentación para la implementación de la etnoeducación, sin embargo, cerca del 86% de las poblaciones étnicas no cuentan con acceso a educación que cumpla con los principios establecidos. La importancia de la etnoeducación se ha evidenciado en varios países, brindando resultados positivos como la disminución de la morbimortalidad con actividades educativas de promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad. Para ello, es crucial que las acciones planteadas se integren con las percepciones culturales de las comunidades. Conclusión: Existen muchos lineamientos a nivel local, nacional e internacional, sin embargo, la etnoeducación continúa siendo un reto. Es necesario aumentar los esfuerzos para que la etnoeducación logre los objetivos que están planteados desde el punto de vista teórico.
INTRODUCTION: Problem-based learning and roleplay allow students to develop an active role in their learning process and make them implement classroom-acquired theoretical concepts in a practical environment. METHODS: The group of students was divided into 2 groups, the first representing the patient's family and the second the patient's insurance company. Each group defends its interests, the family defends the need for gene therapy and the insurance company defends the limitations that may occur with it. MAIN OBJECTIVE: In this article, we present an educational experience based on roleplaying and problem-based learning developed for a Molecular Biology course in a Faculty of Medicine of a Colombian university, where students are asked to act out specific roles on a simulated trial. RESULTS: As many concepts taught through the course are easily forgotten, the Law & Science Gene Therapy Trial was developed to make learning a more didactical process and, therefore, improve academic results. This experience allows a theoretical-practical integration based on the students’ knowledge of gene therapy, its molecular basis, and clinical implications. CONCLUSION: The trial is a meaningful experience that has been implemented for more than 10 years with Institutional support. Academic results from the experience have been exceptional and students are motivated to develop assertive communication and teamwork capacities.
INTRODUCTION: it is of special importance that teachers can easily transmit knowledge, using didactical tools such as Cmaptools, Slideshare, YouTube, among others. Because of that, teaching methods nowadays are going through a revolution that implies technological development and the arrival of new generations. OBJECTIVE: describe the experience of developing a virtual education strategy in our institution to improve the teaching and learning process and facilitate interaction with students. METHODOLOGY: the students must do a bibliography search in databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase) choosing one recent (published within the previous 3 months) original article in English. The article must involve the use of molecular techniques that include some sort of electrophoresis, then, get a tutoring session with the main teacher of the course, after that, the student must design a PowerPoint slideshow of a maximum of 15 slides. Finally, must record a 10-minute-long video of the presentation, the video must be uploaded to the YouTube website. RESULTS: a greater comprehension of the seminar presentation dynamic was observed in comparison to the previous methodology, which did not include the virtual component. CONCLUSIONS: the implementation of new innovative methodologies in education allows students to develop a broader learning process, besides improving their scientific understanding; they improve their knowledge on technological tools implemented in education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
