NA DOCENCIA DESTA MATERIA PARTICIPAN TAMÉN OS SEGUINTES PROFESORES DA UVIGO:

Mercedes Gallardo Medina (e-mail: medina@uvigo.es)
Mª Esther Barreal Modroño (e-mail: edesther@uvigo.es)
Neste curso abordase a historia e os conceptos básicos da biotecnoloxía vexetal: cultivo in vitro de
células, tecidos e órganos vexetais, tipos de cultivos e as suas aplicacions e inxeñería xenética. De forma máis
amplia tratase a transformación xenética de prantas (conceptos, métodos de transformación e uso
biotecnolóxico de prantas modificadas xenéticamente), la manipulación das prantas e a sua mellora vexetal.
Por último, analizarase en profundidade o impacto e a visión que a sociedade ten sobre a biotecnoloxía e
os organismos modificados xenéticamente, revisando aspectos como: patentes, normativas, cuestións
éticas, riesgos. A metodoloxía empleada para a adquisición de coñecementos será a exposición e debate,
(estratéxia expositiva ou maxistral) pero incluese, de forma innovadora, o Aprendizaxe Basado en
Problemas (ABP), mediante o cal o estudiante tendrá que traballar nun caso práctico, que lles permitirá
adquirir as competencias de curso, sendo o protagonista do proceso de aprendizaxe (estratexia por
descubremento e construcción).

Description
Introductory activities
Contact students / teachers.
Presentation of the training program: teaching methodology, planning, development. presentation of the practical case. Assessment system.
Guest lecture / keynote speech
The explanation of the main concepts will complemented by an active discussion with the student, through questions to integrate, establish and clarify the key concepts.
Case study
Analysis of a case study with the purpose of the student, working in small groups,
star in his self-learning guided by the teacher / tutor (learning strategy for
discovery and construction). The case poses a problem complex, similar to those that students will face in real life,
and for whose solution will have to be formed in theory and in practice. In other words, aims to discover knowing and not about the problem, and it should look
information, selects, organizes, evaluates, interprets, integrates and finally proposes solutions using the scientific method.
Case study
Oral presentation, using a computer program
presentation of the work.
Will be held in groups formed by 4-5 people.
