Abstract
This work shows the work of pedagogical study developed within a seminar called “Nutritional and Dietary Analysis (DIAL Program)” as a part of the theoretical content of Physiology of Reproduction and Vegetative Functions, a subject of Biology degree in the University of Extremadura (Spain), with the purpose of contributing to the learning of the students about the main principles of digestive system and nutrition through a guided practice. This curriculum development is based on the answers to a serial of questions from the theoretical contributions of the area, using the nutritional analysis program DIAL and the nutritional needs of the students as a tool. We believe that this methodology of model curriculum development, in which a dialogue between theory and practice was used, it could be an interesting way to improve the academic performance of the students. Furthermore, it allows the students to think about the current nutritional problems according the results obtained.
