REFLECTIONS REGARDING ANATOMY TEACHING WITH THE USE OF DIGITAL TOOLS

Abstract

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization - WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. To maintain interaction and ensure that students access quality content, teachers have started to use digital platforms. The purpose of this work is to report on the experience provided by the III Workshop of Maranhense Anatomical Techniques. The Center for Advanced Morphophysiological Studies - NEMO of the State University of the Tocantina Region of Maranhão - UEMASUL and State University of Maranhão - UEMA, held the workshop associated with the discipline of Anatomical Techniques of the Postgraduate Course in Animal Science, being one international online event through the YouTube platform. The way of teaching animal and human anatomy has evolved towards active methodologies, to accompany the didactic-pedagogical evolution with the advances in digital technology. Anatomy teachers feel the need to redefine the objectives of this discipline. The professors showed mastery over the lectures and the use of the platform used to broadcast the event, managing to talk about Animal and Human Anatomy in a completely different way, combining theory with practice. Under these circumstances, an innovative teaching-learning method, supported by the internet, has been serving an unlimited number of students interested in short courses.   Keywords: Anatomical techniques.
