ABSTRACT

Background: the integration of scientific content is a trend and imperative in higher education, so studying the educational reality in this field allows directing actions to improve the teaching-learning process.
Objective: to diagnose the current state of the integration of contents of the basic biomedical sciences in the Morphology-physiology discipline for the Dentistry degree.
Methods: descriptive and cross-sectional observational research of a pedagogical nature developed at the Dentistry Faculty of Camagüey University of Medical Sciences, from September 2018 to March 2020. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive; and empirical: interview and questionnaire with teachers and students, scientific observation and documentary review.
Results: all the teachers and most of the students considered important integration in Morphology- physiology. However, the average of the teachers expressed limitations to achieve this, which coincided with the student´s criteria when expressing that their teachers were not sufficiently prepared in specialties other than their own; similarly, the teachers considered the level of integration reached by the students to be insufficient at the end of the discipline.
Conclusions: even though the students attach importance to the integration of content in the Morphology-physiology teaching-learning process, they still have limitations related to mastering the content that can be integrated as well as pedagogical deficiencies in teachers to lead them towards this approach from their own involvement in this inclusive teaching process.
