Abstract

Classroom communication is essential to developing the learning process and warrants that we review how we communicate in the classroom, outside the classroom, and during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, communicative strategies can be planned in the university setting and the academy cannot lag behind. This study focuses on the communicative strategies, accompanied by active methodological strategies that promote meaningful learning in the subject of Documentary Research Techniques, in the career of Medicine, of the Multidisciplinary Regional Faculty (FAREM), Estelí. The approach of this research is qualitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional, supported by the case study method. Data were obtained through the application of techniques such as documentary analysis, interview, focus group, survey, and observation. The study shows that communication was developed assertively, using different types of communication to empathize, motivate and capture the attention of the students. Interpersonal relationships were collaborative and affective, which allowed the conscious and meaningful appropriation of the contents. This contributed to the improvement of the learning process, verified in the verbal and gestural expressions and the production of articles. With this end, we provide a compilation of active methodologies, based on the types of communication, material for significant learning.
