Given the importance of the integration of student groups through various didactic activities, a special activity was carried out at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics of the Juárez University of the State of Durango to learn regarding the anatomical differences of animals.
The person in charge of the Morphology department, Claudia Abascal Hernández, highlighted that the Faculty’s Morphology museum has various animal skeletons that, unlike human medicine, their bones present very marked differences for their learning, so In this activity the students selected a theme to characterize the animals and everything was related to alebrijes.
“As part of the activities, the students disguised the skeletons and had to mark a part where the anatomical differences of the animals might be seen, for example: there are usually two trochanters on the femur, but the horse has a third trochanter; It might also be the teeth, this with the purpose of learning in a playful way”, commented Abascal Hernández.
Another of the objectives of this type of activity is the integration of the groups, so that they get to know each other, since following the pandemic it has been necessary to look for various mechanisms in order to activate the groups.
“For the students who segregate, different learning activities will continue, they will be together for five years and they will have daily coexistence; we have to reinforce the emotional and humanistic part”, commented the person in charge of the Morphology department.
