General and Analytical Chemistry exercise system for the training of the Agronomist Engineers (Original)

Abstract

The article addresses the problem related to the inadequacies in the teaching-learning process of General and Analytical Chemistry in the professional training of the Agronomist Engineer, which limit the development of professional skills. For this purpose, the objective is to elaborate a system of exercises for the training of the Agronomist Engineer based on the guiding ideas of General and Analytical Chemistry from the perspective of the contextualization of the content to the future profession. In this sense, the Agronomy career requires a series of chemical knowledge that allows students to understand the processes and phenomena that occur in lignified higher plants, which makes it necessary to select the elements of chemical science such as the composition, structure and chemical-physical behavior of the elements and chemical substances, both inorganic and organic. Theoretical, empirical and statistical research methods were used. The main results are that, once the system of exercises was applied, all the students satisfactorily solved the problems of the specialty, and at the cognitive level, the results were superior to those initially presented.
