Abstract

GARCIA-BARRIOS, Alberto et al. New forms of motivation in the teaching of human anatomy. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.6, pp.255-259.  Epub Apr 01, 2024. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.2606.1311.

Introduction.

The new generations of students, such as the current generation Z or digital natives, have provoked the need to implement new teaching methodologies where students are active and participative subjects in their own learning process. Among these methodologies, the use of game-based learning can be considered an alternative to reinforce the classic 'master class' in university teaching.

Subjects and methods.

Use of game-based learning (serious games), in students enrolled in the subject of Human Anatomy I (Locomotor System), first year of the Degree of Medicine at the Universidad de Zaragoza.

Results.

The use of this methodology has been evaluated, by means of a voluntary evaluation survey, in a very positive way, emphasizing the effect on motivation, participation and integration of theoretical and practical contents.

Conclusion.

Game-based learning should be considered as a powerful alternative that improves motivation, participation and content integration in the higher education classroom.
