Study on the Application of the Combination of Drawing and Multimedia in the Teaching of Human Anatomy

Abstract

With the widespread application of multimedia technology in the teaching process of human systematic anatomy, the efficiency of teaching has improved to some extent, and the content ^[1] has become more diverse. However, due to the subject-specific characteristics of anatomy, such as its complex content, intricate structures, and extensive use of specialized terminology, students often experience boredom and aversion during the learning process. The high memory demands of this subject frequently lead to feelings of inadequacy. Traditional drawing-based teaching, with its emphasis on artistic quality, engages students effectively and significantly enhances knowledge retention. However, this traditional approach progresses slowly and often cannot complete the required teaching tasks within limited instructional time. Moreover, it struggles to effectively present the structure, function, and spatial organization of the human body. Guided by the modern teaching concept of “student-oriented, teacher-assisted,” an attempt was made to integrate traditional human anatomy drawing with multimedia teaching. This approach aligns with the structural characteristics of the course and the principles of students’ cognitive processes. By taking students’ interests as the starting point, the method aims to stimulate enthusiasm for learning, increase classroom participation, and ultimately improve learning outcomes ^[2].
