Modelo comunicacional para las videoclases en las ciencias básicas biomédicas

the 2004-2005 academic year witnessed the changes in the organization of the "lecturing" teaching in basic biomedical subjects with the introduction of vhs videos; and in the 2007-2008 academic year, the digital video began to be used in the so-called "guiding conferences". however, there is an educator in the classroom, who is called facilitator and the applied communicative model has not been thoroughly studied. on the basis of the study of the teaching aids in the basic biomedical sciences lectures delivered in the first year of the medical career, the present paper was intended to analyze possible recommendations for qualitative improvement and for a communicative model in which the video professor, the classroom educator and the students will interact. it was concluded that this model is important from a theoretical-practical viewpoint to design collective working strategies within the "video class" teaching organization, thus solving those aspects with communicative difficulties through facilitator-guided group reflections immediately after the lectures as well as activities for encouraging interactions among students in class; also the difficulties in the audiovisual aids must be overcome, and after this, the communication among educator, student and video professor should be enhanced.
