Description

The project for Innovation and Improvement of Teaching Quality “Academic Heritage as a tool for the development of future scientific careers” pretends to use existing important historical academic collections to strengthen ties between university and school contexts. The research has focused on the study of anatomical models of comparative anatomy kept at two of the most significant educational institutions of different academical levels: the San Isidro Secondary Education Institute and the Veterinary Faculty of the Complutense University of Madrid, both located in the city of Madrid, Spain. To compare both educational contexts we focused on their museums that contain significant collections. Among the objects in custody we have chosen the zoological models and, in particular, a piece that we can find in both museums: the clastic model of the viper head made by Dr. Auzoux. This will be the starting point for future actions. For the development of the project a multidisciplinary team has been assembled consisting of lecturers, students (both from university and Institute), researchers and technicians. The fundamental lines of our research have focused on the didactic use of these pieces, including the documentary study and the conservation and restoration of the viper head using proper techniques. Dissemination activities of this heritage comprised three directions, taking into account our main objective: to recover the interest of classical models as didactic materials. 1. Exhibition for general public; 2. Elaboration of didactic booklets directed to the school public and 3. The design of 3D recreations for the web.
