Implementation of quick response codes in the laboratory: teaching technologies in human anatomy

Abstract

Objective: Implement educational technologies for the study of human anatomy in the laboratory of a public university. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory action research. In the research phase, the participants answered questions about sociodemographic characterization and about the theme online. In the action phase, strategies for teaching anatomy were sought in the literature through the insertion of technologies, highlighting the use of educational sites and quick response codes. In this way, a website was created free of charge, and quick response codes were prepared and fixed in the parts. Characterization data were submitted to simple descriptive statistics and qualitative data to interpretive analysis. The study followed all ethical precepts in force (Certificate of Presentation of Ethical Appreciation: 56265422.0.0000.9247). Results: 36 students participated in the research, with an average age of 24 years. Participants had anatomy classes in a hybrid way (28%), and 72% (n=26) participated in face-to-face monitoring. Still, 89% used the internet as a way to complement their studies. In this way, the elaborated website has four tabs: presentation, norms, courses and disciplines and systems, the latter is subdivided into the ten main systems studied in systemic anatomy, being accessed through quick response codes attached to the parts. Conclusion: The elements of technological development and innovation present in the research were the construction of the site and the implementation of quick response codes in the anatomy laboratory, as educational technologies for the study, they have easy access and low cost, as well as they do not require materials and equipment expensive.
