[Learning strategies and anatomy teaching in the Pôle Universitaire Européen Bruxelles-Wallonie]

(Stratégies d'apprentissage et enseignement d'anatomie humaine au sein du Pô1e Universitaire Européen Bruxelles-Wallonie.)

Full Abstract

In order to compare the learning strategies associated to human anatomy courses in student of first, second and third year in medicine, first year in medical biology technologists and first year in nursing, we distributed a questionnaire to the students. The results revealed some similarities, but also several differences, in relationship with local conditions, the content of the courses, and specificities of different student groups, especially in their study choice. Paradoxically, the integration of medical imaging in medical students seems to be difficult, and the medical students are reticent to use another body to ingrate anatomy, although surface anatomy constitutes a part of the anatomical program. This restriction is absent in nursing. These results constitute important data in the field of cognitive research, but also should be useful to improve our pedagogic strategy in specific populations.
