Abstract

This work proposes a strategy to strengthen the performance of specific competencies in the area of basic chemistry, in first semester students of the Distance Program in Pharmacy Regency of the Universidad Industrial de Santander, Barbosa. The pedagogical strategy proposed to achieve this objective is based on the development of ABP project-based learning, motivating students to a very dynamic activity, being the creators of their own learning. Additionally, the specific competencies of the area to be reinforced by the students are presented graphically. Thus, qualitative results were evidenced, such as the improvement of their skills and abilities in different areas, oral and written communication, criticism, organization of activities, group work and information management. In addition, attitudinal behaviors, motivation, interest and good atmosphere in the teaching-learning process are also recognized. Finally, it is suggested to give continuity to the quantitative validation of this process by integrating other evaluative methods that allow for permanent improvement.
