DURAN-PEREZ, Verónica D  y  GUTIERREZ-BARRETO, Samuel E. The active learning and the development of cognitive abilities in the academic training of health professions. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.6, pp.283-290.  Epub 17-Ene-2022. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.246.1153.

In this review, cognitive skills are presented as the objective of active learning and each of the didactic strategies that facilitate their achievement are briefly explained. As teachers our role is being a disciplinary expert, and to promote the competencies of Health Sciences (HS) in the students. To achieve this, we can rationally incorporate each of the strategies presented in this article to our didactic portfolio without losing sight of the result of learning, competence, or ability that we want our students to achieve. This document seeks to be a cognitive dissonance for HS teachers, inviting them to deepen, evaluate and reflect on their practice, as well as on the results they have obtained to date with current strategies and in the near future encourage them to try new methods that trigger their creativity in academic spaces. Above all, understanding that this range of possibilities will make it possible to stimulate group interaction, promote the development of interpersonal and communication skills for the formation of an educational community that facilitates the comprehensive training of future health professionals.
