There are several techniques to reach the aims in universitary teaching. ?La Dinámica de grupo? is an instrument that leads to true and deep human relation-ship, create mutual respect among the participants and enrich themselves with their experiences. ?Lluvia de ideas?, another technique, was applied in a class of Farmacotécnia II with fifteen students of the Career of Pharmacy, These tests were performed at the end of the year to be sure that they had deep concepts of the subject and could carry out their own conjectures. The pedagogical objective was to stimulate the free display of ideas, develop creative imagination applied to pharmaceutical dosage forms such as: solutions, tables and creams. Used methodology: # The professor outlines the topic to develop the subject, in this case the elaboration of a medication, explains the procedure of the dynamics and the rules. # A student in the role of a secretary writes down the expressed ideas on a blackboard. # The rest of the students spontaneously express their ideas but nor the rest of the students neither the assistant can give contrary or favorable ideas. # The professor should stimulate the participation of all the students leading the speech by using ?trigger words?. #Every participant should write down every observations or each subject. We can conclude that with this assay we observed a good participation of the students who exhibited a whole integration of previous knowledge specially when triggering words were used.
