Introduction: Monitoring allows students the basic cycle of higher-level courses, principally, a deeper understanding of all content been living in class, in this case, the Human Anatomy classes. Through it the student develops various daily activities at the Human Anatomy Laboratory to that add up to the didactic and pedagogical activities required in this process, like the cadaveric dissection. Dissect derives from the Latin meaning to separate, cut, etymologically being equivalent to anatomy. The present study aimed to report the student-monitor experience the discipline of Human Anatomy in cadaveric dissection. Methods: The study is an experience report of a qualitative approach, with an exploratory descriptive analysis, whose objective was to describe, in the words of Physiotherapy course monitors, the importance in the dissection technique. For this, has been made the reading for each reporting for the identification of the central issues described by each monitor. Results: The reports were obtained in February 2014 soon after the end of the I Course of cadaveric dissection of Upper and Lower Limbs, sponsored by the Human Anatomy Laboratory of the University of Pernambuco, Petrolina, as a process of training to those student-monitors who had been selected for the period between 2014.1 and 2014.2 monitoring. Conclusion: It could be perceived that the cadaveric dissection was seen as a way to strengthen the humanization of future health professionals, which resulted in its ethical and social practice, and it has allowed an improvement in teacher-monitor-student relationship.

Introduction: The neuroanatomy discipline is seen by students as one of the most complex and difficult of the basic cycle in health courses. This is taught with lectures and practical classes, where in the last one, the use is made of corpse parts. However, the use of this type of material has been decreasing making it professors and monitors search for new alternatives. One of these alternatives is the manufacture and the use of neuroanatomical models that assist and facilitate the understanding of practical teaching and learning. The study aims to manufacture neuroanatomical models alternative for the practical Neuroanatomy classes. Materials and Methods: The study is an action research, exploratory, descriptive, where were made neuroanatomical models in the Human Anatomy Laboratory at the University of Pernambuco, Petrolina, with cheap materials in order to improve learning in practical teaching. The confections of these models were made with polystyrene, biscuit dough, string, colored acrylic paint, ink colored oil, rubberized, cardboard and plaster bandages. Results: Were made ten neuroanatomical parts that corresponding to the spinal cord, reticular formation and the dermatomes of the limbs. Conclusion: It was observed that the manufacturing of these models is necessary for conducting practical classes being possible elaborate them with quality at low cost, being an alternative in front of real difficulties in obtaining corpse parts and being a strong tool in the teaching and learning of the Neuroanatomy discipline. But regardless of the alternatives utilized, the confection of models will never replace the use of corpse parts.

RESUMO Este estudo objetivou avaliar o desempenho dos cursos de fisioterapia no país quanto aos conceitos obtidos no Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (Enade), no período de 2004 a 2013, verificando o rendimento dos cursos entre as instituições de ensino superior públicas e privadas e a relação das pontuações do exame com o Conceito Preliminar de Curso (CPC). Estudo quantitativo transversal de base documental, realizado com amostra de 103 cursos de fisioterapia que participaram das avaliações do Enade realizadas de 2004 a 2013. A análise constou da avaliação dos conceitos Enade e do CPC por classificações de desempenho ao longo dos anos. Observou-se avanço dos conceitos Enade e CPC na amostra (valor de p<0,05). O percentual de cursos com resultados insuficientes no Exame regrediu de 26,2%, em 2004, para 17,5%, em 2013, e 38,8% das IES obtiveram conceitos superiores ao critério mínimo em 2013, em 2004 esse percentual correspondia a 21,4%. Em todas as edições do Exame as IES públicas apresentaram melhor desempenho do que as instituições privadas. Houve avanço dos cursos de Fisioterapia no Enade e no CPC para o período investigado, com melhor desempenho das instituições públicas em relação às privadas. Porém, a permanência de elevada proporção de resultados insuficientes ou que apenas alcançam o critério mínimo alerta para a importância da discussão da qualidade da formação do bacharel em Fisioterapia no país.
