Abstract

Abstract This descriptive-exploratory study conducted with graduates from the Graduate Program in Human Movement Sciences at the Santa Catarina State University sought to understand the meanings of using movies in bioethics teaching and to identify motion pictures with bioethical themes related to exercise and health in the human movement sciences. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and investigated by content analysis. A priori categories were based on the objectives. The participants’ answers generated the a posteriori subcategories, organized as follows: contributions to bioethics learning for the Graduate Program in Human Movement Sciences and professional life; and perceptions about using motion pictures as a pedagogical resource, including suggestions of movies and themes specific to the course. Movie resources with related themes make learning more meaningful and pleasurable, bringing the students’ professional realities closer to the bioethical content, facilitating such learning.
