Andragogical model: Flipped classroom in the subject “Histotechnology III. Carabobo University. Valencia, Venezuela

Abstract

The present study describes the experience in the implementation of the andragogical model, flipped classroom in the subject “Histotechnology III” of the Department of Morphological and Forensic Sciences of the Faculty of Health Sciences-Carabobo University, for the development of skills and personalized attention to students of the technical career in Histotechnology. Through a descriptive level and a sequential explanatory design, an acceptance of the implementation of the student-centered learning strategy was obtained, by reviewing the material prior to the classroom. However, the students presented difficulties in accessing and reviewing the resources, being necessary to reinforce the theoretical contents at the beginning of the classroom. Therefore, the personalized attention allowed to develop the skills according to the abilities of each student, which were being applied throughout the semester both in consolidation activities during the theoretical component as well as during the practical component. Finally, consistency is suggested throughout the process, to get students out of the comfort zone, who have grown under the model focused on traditional teaching.
