The teaching of Developmental Biology in Spain: future challenges.
Developmental biology and/or embryology prospectuses in Spanish universities are reviewed. From old masterly classes to virtual teaching, a variety of methods are being used nowadays to teach these subjects. In a country like Spain, adapting to the European Higher Education Space, old and new teaching methods are educational alternatives in a university model which respects both tradition and modernity. In this report, consensus guidelines, concluded from this general survey, are suggested for teachers to ensure future progress.
