Resumen

CANTABRANA, Begoña et al. Use of newspaper for the terminology appropriation by first year medical students. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.3, pp.145-151. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322013000300005.

Aim. To describe and analyze a formative task of appropriation of medical and scientific terminology by students of first year at medical school. Subjects and methods. Participants were 161 students distributed in groups of five or six to perform the proposed assignments in form of seminars. The students selected science and medicine news, published in national and regional newspapers, to analyze different characteristics of these articles. The instructions for the task as well as some examples were available in the university's virtual campus at the beginning of the course. Results. Students chose 103 news; only six of natural sciences and the rest related to Medicine, being predominant those related to neurology. Medical terms identified in those articles were 316. Moreover 219 items in general news were chosen. The 88.3% of the terms were documented via consulting dictionaries. The 51.5% of the students answered a survey in which, the task got an average score of 3.2 out of 5 possible points. Conclusions. The study shows that medicine and health information is common in national and regional press. The students think that this activity promotes medical and scientific vocabulary acquisition while it favors the approach to the social aspects of medicine.
