Design of an integrating seminar of two courses of genetics of the Biology major

Abstract

Nowadays, scientific and technical development requires professionals with inter, multi and transdisciplinary approaches, capable of responding to present and future problems of their profession, environment or country. These approaches can be achieved from the university curriculum itself, if the potential offered by the study plan is exploited, based on the general objectives of the career, years and subjects and taking into account the systemic approach of the educational process. This paper presents the design of an integrating seminar between two Genetics subjects of the Biology degree at the Universidad de Oriente, which emphasizes of gene concept, as the main invariant of knowledge between both subjects. Through a guide, it is achieved that at the end of the activity the student can arrive by himself to the concept of gene, being an active subject of his own learning.
