COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERDISCIPLINARY HANDOUTS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

Introduction: Active learning involves student interaction with the field of study, encouraging knowledge consolidation through teaching between students, rather than passive reception. Objectives: This paper aims to report on the experience of medical students in preparing study handouts and analyze the repercussions of this material on the academic training of other students. Report: A team of students, under the coordination of lecturers from the Federal University of Jataí, created teaching materials to help with the study and understanding of the human body, promoting collaborative learning and content assimilation. These materials were revised and improved based on student feedback, aiming to better meet their learning needs. Results: The collaborative development of teaching materials by students improved learning, memorization and analytical skills, optimized study time and promoted the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge. Conclusion: In addition to developing essential skills in the students who prepared them, the handouts proved to be an accessible educational resource for other health courses, broadening the impact on medical education and clinical thought.
