RESUMO

The teaching techniques must be dynamic and, in fact, have made constant progress. More recently, and quite aggressive new features that implement information technology have been used in medical education. However, the lack of this feature with respect to its applicability in the teaching of gynecology is significant. The objectives of the current study were: the creation of an application for the teaching of breast semiology using computational resources, make it available on the World Wide Web (Internet) and to measure student learning which interacted with the application. The application was segmented into: 1) Breast Anatomy, 2) Clinical history, 3) Physical Examination and 4) Additional Tests. Each topic was developed and presented in electronic frames using videos, images (static and dynamic), animations and textbased HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and programming language Action Script 2.0, which report information about selected topics. To perform the application and evaluate its potential, students from different institutions of medical education were invited. The program was accessed by 313 individuals and, of these, 95 completed fully the questionnaire and 77 evaluated the application through a Likert scale. The chosen theme was breast semiology , presented in two different manners. The students, at random, could make use of the conventional lecture available on video, or interact with the multimedia application. There was also the possibility of access to both forms of presentation of the theme, which was done by 34 students. The evaluation was composed of 20 (twenty) questions, and, in parallel, was set a Likert scale to evaluate the credibility of the application. The results showed that students who used only conventional lecture (AE) got lower grades than students who used the multimedia application (AM). However, students who used both teaching resources (E+M), ie conventional lecture and multimedia application, obtained higher grades compared to the group of students who used the multimedia application (E+M = 17,9; AM = 17,5; AE = 15,4; p <0.0001). According to these evidences, it appears that the multimedia application significantly promoted knowledge for some students, and that the use of computer technologies can facilitated the learning of breast semiology.
