“Concise review on some educational experiences in a process of strengthening the teaching of Organic Chemistry in the training of the radiochemists at InSTEC”

“Back during my time at the Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana “Jose Antonio Echeverrı́a”, CUJAE I assist with a workshop on the Problem Base Learning (PBL) approach to teaching. Little did I know about the serious science behind the development of innovative Learning and Teaching approaches. Even less on how far in our history, it is possible to track our “modern” problems and solutions! In the present contribution I share with the readers some of these findings. I will particularly focus on those corresponding to the Hellenistic times of the classical Greco-Roman philosophy, and hopefully, just hopefully, I will be able to transmit how modern these “ancient thoughts” look like.”

“The development of a submerged membrane bioreactor computer simulator that integrates biological degradation process with physical separation process is a useful tool for teaching and research.”

“This paper exposes some results obtained in my PhD thesis (Peña Acosta, 2005). Its scientific novelty lays in the determination of a relationship between the implementation of the investigative approach in the developer teaching-learning process and the self-evaluation of the students about their school performance. ”
