MARTIN VIERA, Luis et al. Sistema tutorial para el estudio de la fisiología del aparato respiratorio del cuerpo humano. Educ Med Super [online]. 2004, vol.18, n.3, pp.1-1. ISSN 0864-2141.

To give an answer to the problem the medical students have with the level of abstraction necessary to comprehend the complex processes originated inside the human body, such as respiration, it was made an analysis among the professors of the departments of Physiology and Computers, taking into account the criterion of students from higher years. It was concluded that it was possible to apply a computerized solution, together with certain pedagogical strategy that may be an alternative to solve the existing difficulties. It was explained how the project was designed and implemented, which allowed to know diverse current theoretical approaches on the utilization of computer-assisted education, the pedagogical strategy followed and the characteristics of the system, among other aspects of interest. The validation of the system was successfully carried out with professors of Physiology and Computers and a group of medical students.
