ABSTRACT

Introduction: Metabolism-Nutrition is a subject that first-year medical students assimilate more easily than its predecessor Molecular Biology. This is due to the intense training in the latter and to having passed the adaptation of the first period. The objective of this research was to develop an offline educational software for the Metabolism-Nutrition subject as a working tool that would allow the continued application of another new methodological strategy for the teaching-learning process of teachers and students in the first year of the Medicine course, based on the essential aspects of the metabolic processes to be studied.
Materials and methods: The educational software was programmed in HTML and distributed to all students and teachers of the Metabolism-Nutrition course of the 2021 course. A new highly participative methodological strategy was applied to the students and an algorithm was implemented as a methodological strategy of the "invariants for the study of a metabolic pathway or process". The academic results of 227 students who examined in the three final exams of the subject were analyzed, measuring and grading the academic performance obtained with the use of the educational software.
Results: The educational software designed with the appearance of a website presents a main menu with presentation options, orientations, calendar plan, extra-class work, conferences, study guides for the classes, workshops, self-evaluations and a library. It works on any device with a web browser. High academic performance accompanied by high academic quality was achieved.
Conclusions: The educational software which was fundamental for the methodological change applied in the teaching of the subject was successfully employed by students and teachers, with a high academic performance.
