Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled "Animal Anatomy Teaching: New Concepts, Innovations and Applications" provides an in-depth examination of innovative pedagogical methods for teaching animal anatomy, a fundamental component of veterinary sciences. It emphasizes transitioning from conventional dissection and static models to advanced digital tools, including 3D modeling, augmented reality (AR), and virtual dissection platforms. These innovations offer ethical and accessible alternatives for instruction.
Contributors are invited to explore how technological advancements can enhance student engagement and learning outcomes through dynamic visualizations. This Issue addresses interdisciplinary strategies, including problem-based and collaborative learning, while tackling challenges in resource-limited environments.
Case studies from various educational institutions provide insights into curriculum and assessment redesign. This Special Issue is a valuable resource for educators aiming to modernize animal anatomy teaching while promoting inclusivity and scientific rigor.
Launched by the journal Veterinary Sciences, this Special Issue aims to compile the latest research findings and promote theoretical and practical advancements in animal anatomy education. It encourages the exploration of new concepts, innovations, and their applications in teaching this subject.
All papers submitted to this Special Issue will be reviewed by independent referees, and the final decisions will be made by a Veterinary Sciences Editorial Board Member who does not have any conflict of interests with the submission.
Dr. Om Prakash Choudhary
Guest Editor
