Restructuración de prácticas de laboratorio. Secuencia didáctica: aislamiento de adn y electroforesis en gel de agarosa

Abstract

The new CONFEDI standards raised in 2018 for Engineering, especially for the Biomedical Engineeringdegree (FACET-UNT), make it necessary to rethink certain theoretical aspects in order to attend todevelopments in laboratory practices involving new strategies and approaches in our classes. As Organic andBiological Chemistry is a basic matter for the new standards, the approach to the development of particularlaboratory skills becomes more important than ever. It is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has crossed usfrom many places and that from the virtuality forced by the circumstances of confinement, trying to reinventlearning, we have learned some forms of virtual communication that we had not yet explored. Then, whenreturning to classroom training, a hybrid model has remained as part of our baggage of strategies, and thena new didactic sequence arises, according to Sanjurjo, with four moments of learning: construction,elaboration, exercise, and application. The theme is chosen for the development of the laboratory practice:Isolation of DNA and electrophoresis in agarose gels, is of vital importance in both Biology and BiologicalChemistry and is also an exclusive practice of the FACET Biomedical Engineering career.
