title: [An alternative methodology for the teaching of anatomy in nursing studies at the University of Carabobo].
abstract: An alternative methodology for the teaching of Human Anatomy which contributes to improve academic yield by Nursing students at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Carabobo is presented. A total of 50 first-year Nursing students who participated in the experiment were divided into 2 groups, control and experimental. This research project was of the almost-experimental type and the work methodology was experimental-evaluation. Three instruments were used to obtain data: an investigation of the Lickert school type consisting of 40 proposals related to the students attitude concerning the study of this discipline and in view of a teaching methodology (EAEAM), accompanied by the school of Interests of Thurstone and by the Psychometric Test of Raven, to determine relationships in accordance with the research objectives. In function of the empirical results of the experiment and of revision of the literature pertaining to this theme, a methodological proposal is presented for the teaching of Human Anatomy; its theoretical-practical nature demands: previous study, observation, discussion and, fundamentally, subdivision, as an alternative to improve academic yield by Nursing students.
