Creation of educational videos about basic laboratory operations

Abstract

This paper discusses an initiative through which first-year students of the degree in Pharmacy at San Jorge University (USJ) created educational videos about basic operations carried out in the laboratory, aimed at students in Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) at the San Valero Centre. In addition, the university students used English as their language of communication, demonstrated their skill in handling laboratory material and worked in groups, organising themselves with the aim of completing a common task. 95% of the participating ESO students rated the activity 8 points or higher out of 10, while 83% of the university students considered it suitable for the Degree in Pharmacy, rating it 8 points out of 10. It is worth highlighting that the students receiving the service pointed out the usefulness of the videos in learning how to carry out certain basic laboratory operations and that the teachers recognised that the videos have been useful and interesting for training the students.
