THEORETICAL REFERENCES FOR THE TRAINING OF RESEARCH ABILITIES AND THEIR INTERRELATION WITH PROFESSIONALS IN DENTISTRY STUDENTS

Abstract

The formation of investigative abilities in the student of the dentistry career constitutes a necessity, reason why they demand of theoretical and practical tools that allow him to solve the diverse professional problems. The article aims to argue some theoretical references that support the formation of investigative abilities and their interrelation ship with professionals in students, from the teaching-learning process of the Morphophysiology discipline, in the dentistry career. A qualitative study was carried out. Among the theoretical methods, the analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive were used, and from the empirical level, the analysis of documents and use of resources available on the internet. The systematization in the contributions of the different authors allowed arguing as essential theoretical positions the following: the dialectical-materialist principle of the educability of man in society; the Historical-Cultural school created by Vygotsky and his followers; the formation of abilities from the systematization of actions within a contextualized activity. On the other hand, Castro's pedagogical ideology in relation to health is assumed, when conceiving the training of a dentistry professional as an active researcher, from a teaching-learning-developer process. The teaching-learning process of the Morphophysiology discipline based on psychopedagogical and didactic arguments, can guide towards the formation of investigative abilities in dentistry students towards the solution of professional problems.
