Competence to develop:

The competence to be achieved by the student is the appropriation of

concepts for the reading context on health problems that arise from the
relationship between geopolitics, impacts on natural resources, climate
change and sustainable development.
Topics to develop:
Geopolitics, issues such as: Impacts on natural resources, climate
change, sustainable development.

Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop:

The task-based learning strategy (ABT) will be used for the

management of learning in response to the course problem nucleus. The
ABT involves the students in a process that contributes significant
meaning to the development of the task. In this way, the work is not of
memorization but exploration, organization and transfer of the best
solution to the task will gain. Its implementation involves the definition
of a number of limited, autonomous tasks (micro tasks) that contribute
to the accomplishment of a broader task (macro task) which in turn
motivates development and increases the importance of micro tasks
(Guichon, 2006).

In ABT the activity is oriented by a learning goal in which the students

elaborate a real and authentic product, they seek to achieve one or
several specific objectives that must be reached in a certain time. The
central focus of the ABT is that activities have real meaning for students.
The activities and tasks can be in two ways, one has to do with what
the student needs to do or get done in his real life; And another that is
related to a specific pedagogical objective of a course.
