Summary of the entire project
The project aims to establish a new activity-oriented learning concept for teaching macroscopic anatomy. Using the topic of "abdomen" as an example, a "circuit training course in anatomy (ZTA)" will be developed for students of human medicine (HM), physics-technology-medicine (PTM), sports science (SW) and medical informatics (MI).
Explanation of the overall objective and, if applicable, the sub-objectives of the project
The overall objective is to develop an anatomy learning concept on the topic of the abdomen and to integrate it into the curricula. The students will work through five stations in small groups, similar to a circuit training. At the stations, the students are to expand their anatomical knowledge and use it contextually to solve questions.
The five stations: anatomical models (1), anatomy in vivo (2), virtual 3D dissection table (3), digital anatomy learning tool (4), and augmented reality (AR) learning platform (5) represent the range of practical problem-oriented anatomical teaching.
Stations 1-4 are already established in Oldenburg.
Within the framework of the project:
- establish the infrastructure for station 5, AR learning platform, at the University of Oldenburg, in teaching.
- Learning units for the students of the different subjects will be developed for each station.
The learning concept is then to be integrated into the curricula of the individual degree programmes (HM, PTM, SW, MI). Overall, the teaching and learning concept should help students to:
(1) train their spatial perception of the conditions in the human body,
(2) better understand and contextually remember anatomical knowledge and positional relationships,
(3) be able to apply anatomical knowledge to solve subject-specific tasks,
(4) gain experience in dealing with modern digital concepts in medicine.
