Application of concept mapping for histology and system immune learning

Abstract

The main objective of this work in University Teaching, National Technological University, Cordoba Regional Faculty, Argentina, was to characterize the implementation of the strategy of concept mapping for learning Histology and the Immune System in the School of Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of Cordoba, Argentina, in 2009. Secondary objectives were to investigate the students' opinions about the usefulness of concept maps and analyze their learning through the production of concept maps, conceptual integration. The results of the application allow characterizing it as a strategy that contributed to the ranking, conceptual relation and integration, training and facilitation of the study, which visual image, reflective thinking and expression of the error, the relevant aspects were noted. Given the significant learning theory based on the concept maps could be considered to be contributed to the meaningful learning of the subjects, Histology and Immune System-on strategy was applied and a contribution to human resource training. We propose a modification of the criteria for scoring concept maps.
