ABSTRACT
Introduction: The subject Molecular Biology constitutes a great challenge for the students of the first year of Medicine, since it is taught in the stage of adaptation to Higher Education. The objective of this research was to develop an educational software for the subject of Molecular Biology as a working tool that would allow the application of a new methodological strategy for the teaching-learning process of teachers and students of the first year of Medicine.Method: The educational software was programmed in HTML and distributed to all students and teachers of the subject Molecular Biology of the 2021 course. A new methodological highly participative strategy of students was applied. The academic results of 279 students who took the three final exams of the course were analyzed, measuring and grading the academic performance obtained with the use of the educational software.
Results: The educational software designed to look like a website presents a main menu with presentation options, instructions, calendar plan, lectures, study guides for classes, workshops, self-evaluations and a library. It works on any device with a web browser. High academic performance accompanied by high academic quality was achieved.
Conclusions: The educational software was successfully employed by students and teachers, which was fundamental for the methodological change applied in the teaching of the subject with a high academic performance.
