Abstract

The main objective of this study was to describe models university students have about the concept of inflammation. The research was conducted with 20 second semester students in a Health academic program who developed several activities proposed within a didactic unit applied throughout the 2012-1 academic period with the purpose of generating a change in the students’ explanatory models. This study was of a mixed nature focused on the analysis of the expressions content produced by the students. The results describe a change in the students’ models, question the value of previous ideas university students have about the learning process of phenomena related to the concept of inflammation, and highlight the importance of using specialized language in inflammation learning models.
