Abstract

This paper presents a concrete application of microcomputer-based simulation in health sciences education. It shows a pharmacological system dynamics model representing graphics and numerical behaviour and relations between variables, which in addition allows interaction with students for experimentation. The work also illustrates a strategy for introducing this kind of model in the classroom, as well as the suitability of their implementation, in educational environments, using professional tools such as DYNAMO and DYNEX. Subsequent evaluation of the results and comments given by the students revealed more positive attitudes towards the discipline.
