Competence to develop:

The competence to be achieved by the student is analyze different

health situations in different contexts and the health problems that
arise from the relationship between geopolitics, environment and
sustainable development.
Topics to develop:

Geopolitics and environment, environmental determinants of health

and sustainable developments.
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.
