Abstract

Physiology, in the medical and other health sciences or experimental degrees, is one of the subjects with more variety of themes that a student can choose for the development of his undergraduate dissertation. The complexity of the syllabus, together with the disorientation to the lack of ideas, incapacitates the students to choose their project. As a main objective, the development of a seminar using the Cinema as an auxiliary tool would help to guide in the choice of an initial idea of the whole physiology syllabus. The review of each theme, or specific thematic block, would be linked to the visualization of short film fragments (30 seconds - 3 minutes) that would reflect a crucial moment of different physiological states of an individual. The transition of topics should be paused to opt to comment or reflect on aspects and ideas. A template with different options per unit helps to mark the most valued aspects. From the conclusions obtained, a final summary of the assimilated allows to obtain a previous idea of a possible chosen theme. We can assure that the Cinema offers the students a useful experience for the resolution of conflicts after acquiring knowledge, thinking skills, attitudes and values.
