Abstract
CONTRERAS ISLAS, David Sebastián; KELBER LIFSHITZ, Carlos; MENDIETA MARQUEZ, Enrique and PEREZ HERNANDEZ, Marco Aurelio. DIAGNOSIS OF BIOETHICAL COMPONENTS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION IN BIOLOGICAL AND HEALTH-SCIENCES. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp.14-35. ISSN 1657-4702. https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.2137.
The multiple ecological and social crisis of today require the integration of global bioethics into higher education in Biological and Health Sciences. Based on this premise and with the intention of developing educational strategies to strengthen the acquisition of bioethical attitudes among the undergraduate students of the Division of Biological Sciences and Health (DCBS) of the Autonomous Metropolitan University, Iztapalapa (UAM-I), our team conducted two studies between 2012 and 2014, aiming to know the content of bioethics in plans and research programs of the degrees offered at the DCBS and the attitudes of undergraduate students. Therefore, we used a methodology of keyword analysis and a Likert questionnaire. Our results suggest that bioethics has not been adequately included as a content of plans and study programs, nor has it played an important role in shaping the attitudes of students. These attitudes, however, are not so unfavorable. Based on the above, we suggest some educational strategies that could improve the situation, as well as another type of analysis to deepen the knowledge of this problem.
