Design of a Didactic Planning Program to strengthen theeducational process of Biochemistry

Abstract

Biochemistry students find the material complex due to its thematic content, which makes it difficult to understand. Due to this, the objective of this research is to design a Didactic Planning Program applying problem-based learning to strengthen the teaching-learning process in said subject, in the Nursing Career of the Public University of El Alto in Bolivia. The research was developed under a descriptive, non-experimental quantitative approach. The main results highlight that students are satisfied with the teaching guides of the subject, the methodology used in the class; as well as the planning and development of teaching, in addition to the form of learning evaluation. Meanwhile, teachers recognized that the didactic planning program is useful, raises quality levels, enhances students’ theoretical and practical skills, helps discern factors susceptible to modification, and creates a better learning environment. It is concluded that the proposal presented contributes to the teaching process of the subject of Biochemistry by building and integrating knowledge, generating significant learning, allowing more active and autonomous participation of students and allowing them to learn cooperatively, obtaining an effective and innovative solution.
