Could August Möebius, Napoleon Bonaparte and Pierre Laplace Teach Physiology? The Use of Strategies for the Teaching of Human Physiology

Student training duties, involve learning concepts and relevant skills. It should also foster the development of critical thinking and active learning leading to the acquisition, analysis and implementation of knowledge transfer in research and encourage a positive attitude forwards both, self-learning and lifelong learning. The proposed methodology presented in this article focuses on the strategies to use to achieve these aims in the physiological context. This study aimed to use different methodological strategies, depending on the activity, consisting of induction, explanation, exposure and dialogue, so that the student is both an active receiver and questioner. The technique is useful in helping students to recognize concepts in research problems. The development of this promotes the reception of information and interaction with the end result being with the construction and transfer of ideas.
