Metodologias alternativas de ensino para inovação nas aulas práticas de anatomia humana

Abstract

Objective: to present the creation and use of alternative didactic materials, with application in the practical classes of the discipline of Human Anatomy, in classes of the Nutrition and Physiotherapy courses, of a public university in the São Francisco Valley. Methods: Experience report on the teaching methodology used. Each class of the courses contained 58 students who were subdivided into 2 sub-classes (29 students each), with practical classes on different days and times. The sub-class was composed of 5 groups organized in 5 benches, with approximately 6 students. In each class, there was an explanation about the anatomical parts of certain systems and, later, an activity was proposed using the didactic materials developed to fix the content covered in an interactive way. To make the models, low-cost materials were used, and a product was developed for each content of the Systemic Anatomy. Results: The adherence to the materials was satisfactory, demonstrating independent and pleasant learning with the new tools. The students developed the activities presented, generating new considerations related to the contents, in which the theory was continuously articulated with the practice. Final considerations: The use of alternative teaching materials provided the active participation of students, offering ways to integrate the content, introducing innovative mechanisms as alternatives in education.
