Résumé
El aprendizaje basado en estudio de caso ha demostrado mejorar el interés y la comprensión de los estudiantes en cursos de ciencia. Sin embrago, es poca la literatura que evidencie la efectividad de divo método en instituciones de educación superior que atienden a estudiantes hispanos. Con el objetivo de promover el desarrollo de destrezas analíticas, se utilizó el caso "Those Old Kentucky Blues" y una prueba para determinar el aprendizaje y comprensión de los estudiantes en el tópico de genética mendeliana. El análisis de las puntuaciones demostró un aprovechamiento significativo para los estudiantes expuestos al estudio de caso en comparación con el grupo control. Por lo tanto, el método resulta efectivo para la comprensión de la información en estudiantes hispanos, mejorando la percepción y el aprendizaje de tópicos biológicos de alta dificultad.
