Purpose: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of multicultural therapy in reducing anxiety and psychological distress and improving social well-being and social performance among international students in West Asia. Methods and Materials: This quantitative study was conducted in two descriptive and quasi-experimental phases. The statistical population consisted of 250 international students studying at Mohaghegh Ardabili University during the 2023–2024 academic year. In the screening phase, 124 students were selected through multistage cluster sampling and completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Keyes Social Well-Being Scale, Hadian-Nasab Social Performance Questionnaire, and Goldberg General Health Questionnaire. Following screening, 30 students who met the inclusion criteria, including a Beck Anxiety Inventory score greater than 17, were selected and randomly assigned to a multicultural therapy group and a wait-list control group, with 15 participants in each group. Both groups completed pretest and posttest assessments. The experimental group received multicultural therapy, whereas the control group received no active intervention during the study period. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance after examining the relevant statistical assumptions. Findings: After controlling for pretest scores, multicultural therapy produced a significant reduction in anxiety compared with the wait-list control condition, F(1, 27) = 44.83, p < .001, partial η² = .624. Significant group differences were also observed in social well-being, F(1, 27) = 35.63, p < .001, partial η² = .569, and social performance, F(1, 27) = 29.73, p < .001, partial η² = .524, with higher adjusted posttest scores in the experimental group. General psychological distress was also significantly lower in the multicultural therapy group, F(1, 27) = 40.25, p < .001, partial η² = .598. Conclusion: Multicultural therapy appears to be an effective culturally responsive intervention for reducing anxiety and psychological distress and enhancing the social well-being and social performance of international students.

Quality higher education plays a vital role in sustainable development by equipping graduates with knowledge, competencies, and skills required for economic and societal development. This study examined the relationship between instructional strategies and the employability skills of undergraduate students in the School of Art and Industrial Design at Kyambogo University, Uganda. Specifically, it investigated the relationships between cooperative teaching, collaborative teaching, inquiry/discovery learning, independent study, experiential (authentic) learning, project-based learning, and students’ employability skills. The study adopted a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. Data were collected from 378 third-year undergraduate students using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to determine the direction and statistical associations between instructional strategies and employability skills. Findings showed that cooperative teaching, inquiry/discovery learning, and experiential teaching had positive statistically significant associations with employability skills, whereas collaborative teaching had a negative statistical association. Independent study and project-based teaching had no statistically significant unique associations with employability skills. Inquiry/discovery teaching demonstrated the strongest statistical association with employability skills among the strategies examined. The study concluded that instructional strategies had different statistical associations with employability skills and that learner-centred approaches are most beneficial when they actively engage students in cooperative, inquiry-oriented, and authentic learning experiences aligned with intended graduate outcomes. The study recommended strengthening cooperative, inquiry, and experiential teaching through structured group tasks, inquiry-based activities, and authentic practical experiences. It further recommended improving the design and implementation of collaborative, independent, and project-based learning to enhance their contribution to graduate employability skills.

Over the last decade, there has been a visible surge of students participating in and leading different forms of activism. Following the cultural reckoning of 2020, the United States saw a rise in awareness and engagement in activism among young individuals. Continuing this trend, higher education institutions have seen an increase in on-campus demonstrations in recent years. Given the recent increase in activism, political engagement, and the globalization of social issues, this study examined how attitudes, beliefs, individual factors, and prior behaviors relate to undergraduate students’ willingness to engage in different forms of activism (i.e., conventional and high-risk). Across both forms of activism, institutional advocacy (i.e., the behavioral targeting of institutional racism) was the most consistent unique predictor of a student's willingness to engage in activism. Need for cognition and individual advocacy were significantly and positively related to conventional activism, whereas political orientation was negatively related to it. Social justice orientation was significantly and negatively related to high-risk activism.

This study addresses the critical deficiency in speaking skills among university students, a challenge primarily attributed to the reliance on traditional teaching methods and the limited time allocated for authentic verbal practice within the classroom. The research aims to construct a comprehensive theoretical framework for the Flipped Classroom strategy and identify the pedagogical and linguistic justifications for its implementation in developing speaking skills, while providing practical procedural recommendations for its integration into higher education. Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach through a critical review of educational literature, the findings reveal that the flipped model significantly enhances students' fluency, linguistic accuracy, and capacity for spontaneous expression. Furthermore, the model fosters increased motivation and active participation by granting learners the autonomy to progress at their own pace, as pre-class preparation helps mitigate "language anxiety" and bolsters confidence during real-time communicative interactions. Despite these advantages, the research identifies several implementation challenges, most notably the digital divide, potential cognitive overload, and the necessity for intensive faculty training in digital instructional design. Ultimately, the study concludes that the Flipped Classroom represents a fundamental philosophical shift that redefines educational roles, transforming class time from passive instruction into a dynamic "living linguistic laboratory" focused on intensive communicative practice.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the economic self-management strategies used by students of the Faculty of Business Sciences of the Technical University of Machala during their academic training; Interest in this study arose from the need to understand how students face economic difficulties that arise in their training. A mixed approach was applied and a survey was used on a representative sample of 367 students, identifying the main source of income for a part of the student population, evidencing alternatives to sustain their expenses and reduce their economic dependence. The most used strategies were observed when they go through difficult situations and if the income is sufficient to cover their expenses, reflecting the existence of limitations and conditioning the way of organizing their resources and decision making. Likewise, it was identified that students usually perceive an impact. in their academic performance. The results allowed us to understand the economic dynamics experienced by university students and provide information for the design of institutional strategies that contribute to strengthening permanence, well-being and academic success.

Short-term field trips enable learners to bridge the pedagogical gap between academic knowledge (theory) and the practicalities of their discipline in a real-world setting. In Ireland, there has been a dearth of empirical research into the essence of short-term field trips as a teaching and learning strategy for criminal justice students. The purpose of this article is to bridge that pedagogical gap through thematic analysis of qualitative data of student learning experiences in the context of a short-term field trip to an operational prison. Research findings based on semi-structured interviews with students who participated in the active learning experience show evidence of the essence of experiential learning activities which could not be achieved to the same level in academic seminars alone. In essence, students contextualise their academic (theory) knowledge, which is a catalyst for gaining a deep and flexible understanding. In consequence of the sensitive nature of the operational prison, and compliance with security protocols, some limitations were also reported by participants, notably the short-term duration of the field trip and the use of conventional methods of documenting active learning experiences was not possible. Keywords: higher education, participatory action research, experiential learning, short-term field trip, operational prison, reflection in action, reflection on action, thematic analysis of qualitative data

Digital technology is increasingly being incorporated into higher education, creating new ways to teach and interact with students. However, technology alone does not necessarily enhance student engagement. This study investigates the effects of four Technology-Integrated Curriculum dimensions on Student Engagement. A quantitative research design was adopted. A survey questionnaire was completed by 388 hinger education students from Shandong Province in China. The four dimensions studied were Balance of Curriculum, Technology, and Pedagogy; Content Knowledge and Supports Meaningful Learning; Enables Differentiated Instruction; and Encourages Innovation. Data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results showed significant positive effects of all four study dimensions on Student Engagement (p < .001). Enables Differentiated Instruction demonstrated the strongest effect (? = .430, t = 12.358), followed by Balance of Curriculum, Technology, and Pedagogy (? = .408, t = 13.934), Encourages Innovation (? = .406, t = 12.237), and Content Knowledge and Supports Meaningful Learning (? = .364, t = 11.326). All four alternative hypotheses (Ha1–Ha4) were supported. The findings reveal the significance of the integration of technology with appropriate pedagogy and curriculum rather than regarding technology as an independent educational medium. This study, therefore, provides empirical evidence of how technology-integrated curriculum influences Student Engagement within the context of Chinese higher education. More importantly, higher education institutions should focus more on strengthening technology-supported differentiated instruction and fostering meaningful learning, pedagogical alignment, and innovation in the Technology-Integrated Curriculum for future studies. Future studies should examine the relationships between various entities with diverse configurations.

This study examines adult romantic attachment among university students, focusing on attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design was used, involving 50 students aged 18 to 28 years. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using the 12-item Experiences in Close Relationships?Short Form (ECR-S). The results showed moderate attachment anxiety (M = 3.78, SD = 1.03) and low-to-moderate attachment avoidance (M = 3.16, SD = 0.90). A weak positive correlation was observed between the two dimensions (r = .16, p = .264), but the relationship was not statistically significant. Exploratory analysis identified a statistically significant difference in attachment avoidance across years of study, while the observed gender difference in attachment anxiety was not statistically significant. These demographic findings require cautious interpretation because of the small subgroup sizes. Overall, participants reported greater concern about rejection than discomfort with emotional closeness. The findings support examining attachment anxiety and avoidance as distinct dimensions of romantic attachment. However, the small convenience sample, reliance on self-reported responses, and cross-sectional design limit the generalisability of the results. Further research involving larger and more diverse student populations is recommended to examine attachment patterns and their relationship with demographic and interpersonal factors.

The number of depressed Malaysian university students has sharply increased over the past ten years. What started as a localized academic issue has now become a major national mental health crisis, but the true experiences of those affected remain elusive. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to comprehend the authentic experiences of students in Malaysian universities who are experiencing depression. This research employed a qualitative methodology via a phenomenological framework involving five participants female university students who are diagnosed clinically with depression. Information was accessed via semi-structured interviews that were digitally audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and translated to English to analyse the information. The results indicate that there are six major themes that describe the experience of having depression. They are high-achieving students losing their academic identity because they entered the survival mode, a bitter fight between seeking the help of professional assistance and turning to drug use or self-harm in order to cope, the pressure of being a normal, fearing to be seen as a burden, the contradiction between familial beliefs and attributing depression to lack of spirituality, the physically isolated nature of staying in the room because of the need to avoid social interaction, and the impact of past sexual abuse as an underlying factor of psychological trauma. The themes indicate that student depression is not just a medical problem but they are very much influenced by intrapersonal, social, cultural, and spiritual demands. It is thus recommendable to provide necessary support that will alleviate the deep-seated experience of depression, especially in the university.

Background: Body image dissatisfaction (BID) is an emerging public health concern among college students due to its association with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Sociocultural pressures during the transition to adulthood increase vulnerability. Evidence from Western Gujarat remains limited. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of BID and identify its sociodemographic and psychological predictors among undergraduate students in Western Gujarat. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 297 undergraduate students (18–24 years) from a medical college in Western Gujarat. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, including MBSRQ-AS, BDI-II, HAM-A, and RSES. BMI was calculated using standard anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using SPSS v25 with chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and binary logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of BID was 58.2%. Females reported significantly higher dissatisfaction than males (66.1% vs. 48.5%, p < 0.001). Higher BID was observed among overweight/obese students (75.4%) and underweight students (66.7%). Multivariate analysis identified female gender (AOR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.13-3.37), overweight/obesity (AOR = 3.59, 95% CI: 1.85-6.97), higher depression scores (AOR = 1.05 per unit), and lower self-esteem (AOR = 0.89 per unit) as independent predictors (Nagelkerke R² = 0.398). Conclusion: BID is highly prevalent among undergraduate students in Western Gujarat, particularly among females and those with higher BMI, depression, and low self-esteem. Targeted campus-based interventions promoting body positivity, self-esteem, and mental well-being are warranted.

Chronobiology studies indicate that individuals are regulated by three timers: social, solar, and biological. Environmental and behavioral changes can modify the sleep–wake cycle. Many university students adopt nighttime study habits, interfering with the circadian rhythm. Sleep restriction or poor sleep quality compromises memory and significantly reduces academic performance. This study aimed to verify whether there is an association between sleep quality and academic performance among nursing and medical students at a public university in Alagoas, Brazil. This is an observational, cross-sectional, and quantitative study conducted with 137 Nursing and Medical students, selected through stratified probabilistic sampling. Data collection included a sociodemographic questionnaire to characterize the sample, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), and academic self-assessment. Data were analyzed for normality, and associations were tested using Pearson and Spearman correlations (SciPy – Python). Among the 137 students, 65.7% were women, 70.1% were between 19 and 24 years old, 67.9% rated their academic performance between 7.0 and 8.9, and 66.4% presented poor sleep quality. Negative correlations between the PSQI and self-assessment variables (r = -0.368; p < 0.001 for Pearson; r = -0.360; p < 0.001 for Spearman) reinforce the importance of sleep quality in the academic context. The findings highlight the urgency of interventions that promote sleep hygiene education and strategies to improve rest quality, reducing the likelihood of problems that may negatively impact students’ academic performance.

Introduction: Ecuadorian higher education has experienced different dynamics in scientific production, presenting a significant challenge regarding the integration and participation of university students. The problem lies in a lack of knowledge analyzing the correlation between academic anxiety and scientific production in a university context in the city of Ambato, Ecuador. Objective: To determine the correlational association between academic anxiety and scientific production among university students in the city of Ambato in 2025. Methodology: The research employed a correlational approach, a quantitative methodology, and a non-experimental design. Data was collected using a structured survey administered to 248 university students, selected through convenience sampling. Results and Discussion: The main results show that 31.45% of students experience physical fatigue when conducting research activities, 57.26% perceive that they are not meeting the demands of a research project, 47.58% avoid engaging in scientific research, and a Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.027 was obtained, demonstrating a negative association between the variables studied. Conclusion: The university students experience physiological, cognitive, and behavioral difficulties when producing a scientific product, where a lack of experience and student support makes scientific research a difficult and uninteresting field for university students to explore.

Digital technologies are now at the center of university teaching and learning. They can also cause technostress, a strain that arises when technology demands outpace a person's capacity to cope. This study examined how technostress relates to psychological well-being in undergraduates and how these variables differ across demographic and academic groups. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. Using multi-stage sampling, the study selected 1001 undergraduate students (317 male and 684 female). They were enrolled in the faculties of Education, Arts, and Science at two public and two private universities in Lahore District, Pakistan. The study used a 21-item scale to assess technostress across five creators: overload, complexity, uncertainty, insecurity, and invasion. Well-being was assessed with the 42-item form of the Ryff scales. In a pilot sample of 300 students, internal consistency was .71 for technostress and .880 for well-being. Analyses were run in SPSS version 21 and included correlation, t tests for two groups, and ANOVA for more than two groups. The pilot study aimed to determine the instrument’s Cronbach's alpha reliability (TS = 0.705 and RSPW = 0.840). Experts were consulted to confirm the instrument's validity. The study tested the hypotheses using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed a weak positive relationship between technostress and psychological well-being among undergraduate students (r = 0.22), which was statistically significant. There was no significant difference between male and female students in technostress and psychological well-being. However, the mean values indicate that females (M = 68.38) have slightly higher technostress than males (M = 67.16). Therefore, universities should foster a supportive digital environment that helps diminish the negative effects of technostress on students’ psychological well-being.

Creativity is widely considered to be a core competency for learners and graduates in rapidly changing environments; personality research has identified two dispositions as relevant to creativity repeatedly: openness to experience (OE) and tolerance of ambiguity (TOA). This narrative review examined how OE, TOA and creativity are related (with particular attention to university undergraduates). The review clarifies the three constructs and their measures, summarizes evidence for OE–creativity, TOA–creativity and OE–TOA associations, compares theoretical accounts linking them together and proposes an integrative model in which TOA may explain how openness translates into creative thinking and achievement. Evidence for an OE–creativity link is substantial and comparatively consistent. Evidence for a TOA–creativity link is positive but less strong, relies heavily on self-report, and is concentrated in a small number of research groups. Formal tests of TOA as a mediator were not found. The review closes with methodological recommendations and a research agenda for undergraduate samples, including cross-cultural and longitudinal designs, and with implications for educators who wish to foster creativity as a student strength.

The transition from secondary school to higher education is a critical period that shapes students' academic engagement, social integration, and persistence. Despite increased access to higher education in South Africa, many first-year students enter university with expectations that differ substantially from their subsequent experiences, creating adjustment challenges. Guided by Tinto's Theory of Student Integration and Educational Transition Theory, this study explored first-year students' expectations. It examined how students perceived and experienced mismatches between these expectations and the realities of university life. The study adopted an interpretivist qualitative research paradigm and an exploratory descriptive design. Data were collected through three focus group discussions with 21 purposively selected first-year students at a comprehensive university in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. They were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed an expectation–reality mismatch in three areas: social integration and peer relationships, course selection and academic guidance, and academic workload alongside self-directed learning demands. Participants who identified as first-generation students described experiencing additional transition difficulties, which they associated with limited social and cultural capital, inadequate career guidance, and low digital literacy. Participants also associated persistent socioeconomic inequality with these difficulties. The study concludes that expectation–reality mismatch is a psychologically meaningful mechanism through which structural inequality translates into experiences of uncertainty, diminished belonging, and academic disengagement during the first year. Strengthened orientation, mentoring, academic advising, and digital literacy support are recommended to improve student adjustment, engagement, and retention.

Liberal Arts Associate Professor Will Rupp highlights how participating in a Liberal Arts programme can support and nurture planners, doers and critical thinkers of the future. Reflecting on 10 years of Liberal Arts programmes at Warwick, Will has seen how students from many different backgrounds have brought their own experiences to develop and explore a wide range of disciplines, with graduates going into so many different careers and each changing their complex worlds in interdisciplinary ways.

Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) connects language instruction with learners’ academic or occupational domains, but adapting specialized contexts for absolute beginners presents a design problem: disciplinary relevance may introduce linguistic demands that exceed the learners’ capacity. This conceptual paper proposes a curriculum-aligned procedure for contextualizing elementary Arabic conversation tasks for university accounting students without claiming to teach technical accounting discourse. Drawing on scholarship concerning ASP, needs analysis, task-based language teaching, constructive alignment, and beginner-level interaction, it develops a four-stage procedure: identify a communicative function, select a plausible accounting-related context, check linguistic and interactional demands, and specify observable evidence of performance. Six illustrative task adaptations demonstrate its application to introductions, occupations, locations, colleagues, appointments, and documents. These tasks are original, hypothetical designs rather than observed classroom activities or responses to empirically established learner needs. A proposed set of decision checks distinguishes contextual relevance from occupational authenticity, and genuine oral exchange from scripted reproduction. The framework offers a bounded starting point for needs analysis, expert review, and empirical evaluation.

عربی برای مقاصد خاص (ASP) آموزش زبان را با حوزه‌های آکادمیک یا شغلی زبان‌آموزان پیوند می‌دهد، اما تطبیق زمینه‌های تخصصی برای مبتدیان مطلق یک مسئله طراحی ایجاد می‌کند: ارتباط دیسیپلین‌محور ممکن است الزامات زبانی را فراتر از ظرفیت زبان‌آموزان وارد کند. این مقاله مفهومی، رویه‌ای هم‌راستا با برنامه درسی را برای زمینه‌سازی تکالیف مکالمه عربی مقدماتی برای دانشجویان حسابداری دانشگاهی پیشنهاد می‌کند، بدون آنکه ادعای آموزش گفتمان حسابداری فنی را داشته باشد. با استناد به پژوهش‌های مربوط به ASP، تحلیل نیازها، آموزش زبان مبتنی بر تکلیف، هم‌سازگاری سازنده‌گرا و تعامل در سطح مبتدی، رویه‌ای چهارمرحله‌ای توسعه می‌یابد: شناسایی یک کارکرد ارتباطی، انتخاب یک زمینه قابل قبول مرتبط با حسابداری، بررسی الزامات زبانی و تعاملی، و مشخص کردن شواهد قابل مشاهده از عملکرد. شش نمونه تطبیق تکلیف، کاربرد آن را در معرفی‌ها، مشاغل، مکان‌ها، همکاران، قرارها و اسناد نشان می‌دهد. این تکالیف طراحی‌های اصیل و فرضی هستند، نه فعالیت‌های کلاسی مشاهده‌شده یا پاسخ‌هایی به نیازهای زبان‌آموزان که از نظر تجربی ثابت شده‌اند. مجموعه‌ای از چک‌لیست‌های تصمیم‌گیری پیشنهادی، ارتباط زمینه‌ای را از اصالت شغلی، و تبادل شفاهی واقعی را از بازتولید سناریو-محور تمایز می‌دهد. این چارچوب یک نقطه شروع محدود برای تحلیل نیازها، بازبینی توسط متخصصان و ارزیابی تجربی ارائه می‌دهد.

Reinvention an International Journal of Undergraduate Research is delighted to welcome and introduce a new section housing research and critical reflections from the liberal arts, supported by the UK's Liberal Arts Northern Network. The new pairing offers a thoughtful synergy between the scope of research in context and interdisciplinary communication for Reinvnetion and the interdisciplinary and contextual nature of liberal arts study. Dr Caroline Starkey, one of the co-founders of the UK's Liberal Arts Northern Network introduces our new Liberal Arts Special Section, reflecting on the importance and benefits of the interdisciplinary variation of Liberal Arts courses, that many courses have at their hearts an experiential learning approach - where students learn by engaging with, and reflecting on, ‘real world’ tasks. Liberal Arts has a long and consequential history based in the US however the modern formation of Liberal Arts is a relative newcomer to the UK Higher Education scene. Over the past fifteen years or so, nearly forty named Liberal Arts courses have been developed for undergraduate students at UK universities, taking initial inspiration from the long-established US model but reinventing it for the UK. This new special section offers a new insight into the emerging research in Liberal Arts not only in the UK but acorss the world.

مجله بازآفرینی: یک مجله بین‌المللی پژوهش‌های دانشجویی کارشناسی با کمال میل از بخش جدیدی که میزبان پژوهش‌ها و بازتاب‌های انتقادی حوزه علوم انسانی آزاد است، استقبال و معرفی می‌کند. این بخش جدید از حمایت شبکه علوم انسانی شمال بریتانیا برخوردار است. این جفت‌سازی جدید، هم‌افزایی تأمل‌برانگیزی میان دامنه پژوهش در بافتار و ارتباطات بین‌رشته‌ای برای مجله بازآفرینی و ماهیت بین‌رشته‌ای و زمینه‌مند مطالعه علوم انسانی آزاد ایجاد می‌کند. دکتر کارولین استارکی، یکی از بنیان‌گذاران شبکه علوم انسانی شمال بریتانیا، بخش ویژه علوم انسانی آزاد ما را معرفی کرده و با تأمل در اهمیت و مزایای تنوع بین‌رشته‌ای دوره‌های علوم انسانی آزاد، اشاره می‌کند که بسیاری از این دوره‌ها رویکردی مبتنی بر یادگیری تجربی در قلب خود دارند؛ جایی که دانشجویان از طریق درگیر شدن با وظایف «دنیای واقعی» و تأمل بر آن‌ها یاد می‌گیرند. اگرچه علوم انسانی آزاد تاریخچه‌ای طولانی و تأثیرگذار در ایالات متحده دارد، اما شکل‌گیری مدرن آن در صحنه آموزش عالی بریتانیا پدیده‌ای نسبتاً جدید است. در حدود پانزده سال گذشته، نزدیک به چهل دوره نام‌گذاری‌شده علوم انسانی آزاد برای دانشجویان کارشناسی در دانشگاه‌های بریتانیا توسعه یافته است که با الهام اولیه از مدل دیرینه ایالات متحده، آن را برای بریتانیا بازآفرینی کرده‌اند. این بخش ویژه جدید، بینشی نوین به پژوهش‌های نوظهور در حوزه علوم انسانی آزاد نه تنها در بریتانیا، بلکه در سراسر جهان ارائه می‌دهد.

The training of the medical student articulated with the One Health approach and science, technology and society, constitute theoretical references to understand the health-disease process. This review article establishes the objective of arguing the epistemology of the One Health, science, technology and society approaches in Biomedical Basic Sciences. To do this, a search of scientific literature was carried out in the Scopus, SciELO and DOAJ databases, using search engines and Boolean operators. The key words used: One Health, science, technology and society. Original, review and excerpt articles were consulted, mostly from the last five years. A total of 31 references were selected. It can be said that the One Health approach and science, technology and society in the Basic Biomedical Sciences constitute fundamental pillars of the political, economic, cultural and social development of the country. The information obtained allowed us to base the epistemology of these approaches and the integration with Basic Biomedical Sciences for the training of future doctors. The results reveal the importance of these approaches contextualized with health problems that transcend the classroom context to strengthen critical thinking, the development of cognitive, technological, and social skills necessary to face health challenges.
