Mathematical Modeling as Strategy for Teaching Blood Bank Topics

Jose Molina-Mora, Isaac Quirós Fernández

Abstract: Didactic strategies are groups of activities and procedures, which once integrated provide a logical sequence to accomplish educational objectives. These strategies becoming transcendental within interdisciplinarity in superior education. Therefore, the use of mathematical models for teaching blood bank subjects topics allows linking the theory of transfusion science with mathematics, supporting student’s conceptualizations and placing mathematics as a tool to describe and understand daily life and professional situations. Five models are presented for advanced blood banking courses, accomplishing the simulation, evaluation and prediction of blood unit’s requests and storage, as well as decision making in transfusion techniques protocols.

Keywords: Blood bank – mathematical modelling – Technology – Didactic strategy.
