ABSTRACT

When evaluating the results of the learning method based on the solution to problems and put in practice in the institution by Cuban professors, the students from the Medical School and Health Sciences in Tamale, belonging to the northern region of Ghana, pointed out that independently from the difficulties, among which there were that some of them didn't understand the conferences well, that the teaching staff should get ready better to deliver the contents and that the duration of the classes demanded an increase in time, that educational strategy generated a very motivational educational atmosphere for the pupils, mainly in medical universities with development needs.
