Herblum, Jordana; Honig, Jesse; Kasoff, Madison; Koestler, Jennifer; Catano, Daniel; Petersen, Kristina H. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
An understanding of forearm and wrist anatomy is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of various injuries. Evidence supports the use of peer-assisted learning (PAL) as an effective resource for teaching basic science courses. First-year medical students across three class years participated in an optional PAL kinesthetic workshop wherein…

Kate Ireton Walker – ProQuest LLC, 2024
When instructing very large groups of students in science, it can be difficult to engage all students in the content and measure their understanding. A major unaddressed challenge in science instruction is how specifically to design and implement strategies that engender active learning particularly in high-enrollment undergraduate courses. Active…
