Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify topics raised by 21 medical students in their discourse on their experience of elaborating didactic infographics on sexual diversity. Coding technique was used after 2 judges had read the students’ report on their experience of elaboration in order to identify the emergent topics. This resulted in three relevant topics: learning (51%), characteristics of infographics (38%) and proposals (11%). Learning is divided into three topics: behavioral, declarative and procedural. In characteristics, students stress adjectives such as didactic, interesting, complex, and informative. Finally, some of the students made suggestions on their use. Elaborating didactic infographics is a strategy to encourage students’ ability to research in order to answer their own questions about sexual diversity while they try to inform others on this topic, promoting respect for sexual diversity and contributing towards the education of the population and health professionals.
