This pedagogical approach begins with a challenge posed by the teacher, who presents a clear objective for students to seek diverse solutions. This model provides the teacher with the fundamental domain to the student, thus allowing the students to achieve answers for themselves through the active role. The research is of a quasi-experimental type, explanatory with deliberate intervention based on the use of a didactic strategy. It is based on the quantitative paradigm, since a multiple-choice academic test and an evaluation rubric were used. The research was carried out with seventhsemester students of the Clinical Laboratory career of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato in the academic period September 2024 – February 2025. The results found in this study show that the average grade of the multiple-choice academic test was 5.2/10 without the intervention of a didactic strategy. However, after applying a keynote lecture about novel molecular targets in cancer, complemented by the strategy based on analysis and discussion in working groups that involves collaborative learning, it was found that the average grade of the students increased significantly to 9.77/10 in the evaluation rubric. The impact of the didactic strategy was notable due to the statistically significant changes obtained through the Wilcoxon test (p < 0.05). The intervention of the strategy of analysis and discussion in working groups resulted in a notable improvement in the grades of university students, demonstrating the effectiveness of this pedagogical approach.Item Estrategia didáctica para el tutelaje académico en fisiología cardiovascular en carrera de medicina de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato(2025-04-01) Beltrán Barreto, Luis Gerardo; Zabala Haro, Alicia Monserrath; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de PosgradosThe research is based on academic mentoring in cardiovascular physiology in medical students of the Technical University of Ambato, in order to improve academic performance and understanding of complex concepts.

The evaluation of knowledge about cervical cancer of the students has a medium level, 55% answered that they sometimes identify it from the risk factors. Based on the diagnosis, a didactic strategy of virtual group learning with complex approaches was designed, contemplating the implementation of eight work sessions, which seek for students to share their knowledge, encourage discussion through focus groups, problem- based learning and develop educational products with virtual tools with a complex approach based on the disease, the environment and community participation.Item Estrategia didáctica para la enseñanza de ciencias básicas a estudiantes de pregrado con diversidad funcional del espectro autista(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Centro de Posgrados, 2022-12) Valle Ocando, Ana Karina Md.; Villacís Valencia, Sandra Dra. Esp.The Autistic Spectrum, currently considered an "invisible disability", persists as an underestimated, ignored condition plagued by stereotypes, a consequence of ignorance. Regarding the academic field, people on the Autistic Spectrum have a different way of learning than neurotypical people, considering peculiarities of both the condition and the person's own, but these educational needs are ignored, affecting the Teaching learning process. Indeed, there is very little information regarding the development and performance of autistic people in formal education, focusing mainly on the basic and middle levels, and leaving aside autistic students at higher or university levels. In Ecuador there are not even reliable statistical records of how many autistic people start, stay and finish higher education and especially Medical University or Medicine Career, a situation that prevents formulating educational policies and making the necessary adjustments for the academic success of this group of people. Given this scenario, in this qualitative study, an interview was conducted with two key participants to obtain information from a direct and reliable source on the problems that autistic people experienced and experience during their university studies, whose valuable contributions were taken as a reference for to be able to develop the final product that is the "Didactic Strategy for the teaching of Basic Biomedical Sciences to undergraduate students with functional diversity of the Autistic Spectrum"
