A didactic point of view for the development of intellectual abilities in the Bio-medical Sciences

Abstract

So as to contribute with a better orientation of the didactic work in the development of intellectual abilities in the Medicine career, it was considered the criteria of 30 professors with great experience in the teaching of Bio-medical Sciences, in different faculties. It was searched about 15 intellectual abilities that are declared in the syllabus of these sciences. Pertinent theoretical and empirical procedures were applied. There were identified 11 intellectual abilities with a strong connection with the basic biomedical knowledge system. They were organized according to the level of complexity. It was concluded that the abilities that are in a closer relation with the knowledge system can be worked out through the praxis of the teaching learning process, according to a didactic point of view with three levels of complexity, taking into account the coordination and subordination relations among them; oriented from the sensory perceptual to the rational activity as the principal gnostic-methodological axis for its development.
