SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION AS A TOOL FOR LEARNING HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH MIND MAPS AND GAMES
Teaching. Drawing. Didactic resources. Physiology. Human anatomy.
Biology is a natural science that has Scientific Illustration as a connecting link with Arts that leads to a visual representation of scientific knowledge. Formal education needs illustrative practices mainly because images play an important role in the retention of the content taught and in supporting the teaching and learning process. In this scenery, it was aimed to show the importance of developing activities inside human physiology and anatomy with the use of Scientific Illustration in the production of an illustrative card game set and the production of mental maps, aiming to impact positively at the students’ skill development, such as concentration, detailed observation, and improved perception, making the study more meaningful, pleasurable and motivator in everyday school. The use of Scientific Illustration as a didactic resource when teaching human anatomy and physiology contents adds much more purpose to the learning process and to the knowledge-making which can lead to a reflection act.
