RESUMEN
RicoTox (Riesgo Químico de Tóxicos) es una página web elaborada por estudiantes de la asignatura "Toxicología Ambiental y Salud Pública" en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Extremadura (http//www.ricotox.weebly.com). Para ello se emplea la metodología del Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas recomendada en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Los objetivos perseguidos con esta experiencia son contribuir y hacer accesible la información disponible sobre el riesgo asociado a la manipulación inadecuada de las sustancias químicas y educar en relación a su correcta manipulación. En ella se abordan diversas sustancias químicas, aportándose información toxicológica y reguladora, casos clínicos de exposición humana y recomendaciones de uso de dichas sustancias. Desde el punto de vista docente, la metodología planteada presenta tres características 1) motivación inicial e instrucción metodológica realizadas con el grupo completo, 2) los grupos de estudiantes trabajan fuera del horario de clases y se autorregulan autónomamente, siguiendo instrucciones aportadas al inicio de la actividad, y 3) disponibilidad completa del tutor para orientar a los estudiantes a lo largo del desarrollo de la actividad (tutorías). Esta metodología logra un nivel de desarrollo de competencias instrumentales, sistémicas y profesionales para los estudiantes muy satisfactorio (AU)
ABSTRACT
RicoTox (Chemical Risk of Toxics) is a web page whose contents have been prepared by "Environmental Toxicology and Public Health" students at the Faculty of Science, Extremadura University, Spain (http//www.ricotox.weebly.com) based on the Problem Based Learning which is a methodology recommended in the European Higher Education Area. The aims of this experience are to build and to facilitate the access to the available information about the risk related to incorrect manipulation of chemical substances and to teach a correct manipulation of them. This web page contains toxicological and regulatory information, clinical cases of human exposure and prevention measures to guarantee a safe manipulation of the chemical substances. From an educational point of view, the stated methodology shows three characteristics 1) initial activity of motivation and methodological instruction for the total group of students, 2) the groups of students work outside of normal school hours and they self regulate in their work following instruction provided initially 3) full availability of the master to steer students in the development of the activity (mentorship). This methodology achieves a very satisfactory level of development of instrumental, systemic and professional competences for students (AU)
