title: [Innovative approach of teaching-learning of histology and embriology].
abstract: The paper presents an innovative approach to the teaching-learning of histology and embryology. The traditional teaching of the subject in the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Rosario National University, Santa Fe, Rosario, Argentina, up to 1974 is subjected to critical analysis, and on this basis the need for the innovation is propounded and the method for applying it proposed. A detailed account is given of the theoretical framework of the experiment reported, of the general and specific objectives of the teaching-learning technique, and of the thematic units into which the curriculum was divided. In the teaching-learning plan followed--described in the article--the conventional professorial lecture and its accompanying practical demonstrations are replaced by round tables and theoretical-practical tasks requiring active involvement and integrating theory and practice, in which teams tackle problems under teacher coordination. It also provides for evaluation of the students, teachers and course and eliminates the conventional examination.
