Direct linkChirillo, Michael; Silverthorn, Dee U.; Vujovic, Predrag – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Homeostasis is a core concept in systems physiology that future clinicians and biomedical professionals will apply in their careers. Despite this, many students struggle to transfer the principles governing homeostasis to concrete examples. Precourse assessments conducted on 72 undergraduate biology students enrolled in an introductory systems…

Beckett, Elizabeth A. H.; Gaganis, Voula; Bakker, Anthony J.; Towstoless, Michelle; Hayes, Alan; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Lexis, Louise; Tangalakis, Kathy – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Australia-wide consensus was reached on seven core concepts of physiology, which included homeostasis, a fundamental concept for students to understand as they develop their basic knowledge of physiological regulatory mechanisms. The term homeostasis is most commonly used to describe how the internal environment of mammalian systems maintains…

Kiesewetter, Andrea; Schmiemann, Philipp – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Understanding homeostasis is a goal of biology education curricula, as homeostasis is a core feature of living systems. Identifying and understanding the underlying molecular feedback mechanisms appear to be challenging for students. Understanding the properties and mechanisms of such complex homeostatic systems requires feedback loop reasoning,…

Moore, Sammi; Gray, Ron; Meilander, Jeff – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Historically, undergraduate anatomy and physiology (A&P) has been a challenging course for incorporating conceptual learning techniques due to large class sizes and an emphasis on content and terminology. The project utilized the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) strategy to create short activities based on real-world scenarios that incorporated…

Mahaffey, Angela L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
This article will (1) initially outline first-year nursing and undergraduate exercise sciences student perspectives on examinations of the 2011 Michael-McFarland (M-M2011) core principles in physiology through an anonymous online survey, and (2) model an updated approach based on these qualitative findings. Briefly, for the first perspective (i of…

Jin, Iksung; Kassabov, Stefan; Kandel, Eric R.; Hawkins, Robert D. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Most studies of molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity have focused on the sequence of changes either at individual synapses or in the cell nucleus. However, studies of long-term facilitation at "Aplysia" sensory neuron--motor neuron synapses in isolated cell culture suggest two additional features of facilitation. First, that there…

Michelle Pauley Murphy; Woei Hung – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
A well-developed mental model is crucial for effectively studying physiology core concepts. However, mental models can be difficult for students to represent and for instructors to evaluate and correct. Systems modeling as a visualization cognitive tool may facilitate mental model development. On the other hand, evidence of mental model…

Sofía Judith Garófalo; Lydia Galagovsky; Manuel Alonso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
In this work extensive misconceptions of university students'--from nutrition area--about the metabolism of carbohydrates (CHM) in the human organism have been documented. The results lead to consider their difficulties concerning the learning of a complex set of imbricated biochemical models involved. Pursuant to these considerations, three…

Ayalew, Mentewab; Hylton, Derrick; Sistrunk, Jeticia; Melton, James; Johnson, Kiandra; Voit, Eberhard – PRIMUS, 2022
The integration of biology with mathematics and computer science mandates the training of students capable of comfortably navigating among these fields. We address this formidable pedagogical challenge with the creation of transdisciplinary modules that guide students toward solving realistic problems with methods from different disciplines.…

Buono, Alexia; Burnidge, Anne – Journal of Dance Education, 2022
This article describes dance/STEAM-based educational workshops for 3rd and 4th graders at a local science museum led by the artistic director and members of a professional dance company and supported by a large university research community. The overarching pedagogical goal was to use dance to learn about science and science to learn about dance.…

Carroll, Melissa A.; McKenzie, Alison; Tracy-Bee, Mary – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
This viewpoint proposes eight anatomy threshold concepts related to physical therapist education, considering both movement system theory and anatomical competence. Movement system theory provides classifications and terminology that succinctly identifies and describes physical therapy practice from a theoretical and philosophical framework. The…

Ball, Karen L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
As one element of an extensive revision to program curriculum, the Integrative Physiology and Health Science Department at a small, private, liberal arts institution developed a novel introductory course for the major, focusing specifically on the "core concepts" of physiology. Intended to provide the initial step in explicit scaffolding…

Knudsen, Laust V.; Sheldrick, Abigail J.; Vafaee, Manouchehr S.; Michel, Tanja Maria – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Cognition and brain homeostasis depends on cerebral blood flow to secure adequate oxygen and nutrient distribution to the brain tissue. Altered cerebral blood flow has previously been reported in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum condition in comparison to non-autistics. This phenomenon might suggest cerebral blood flow as a potential…

A set of core concepts ("big ideas") integral to the discipline of physiology are important for students to understand and demonstrate their capacity to apply. We found poor alignment of learning outcomes in programs with physiology majors (or equivalent) from 17 Australian universities and the 15 core concepts developed by a team in the…

Graham, Matthew C.; Husman, Jenefer; Pekrun, Reinhard; Villanueva, Idalis; Christensen, Darcie – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: This study examined the relations between students' expectancies for success and a physiological component of test anxiety, salivary cortisol, during an authentic testing setting. Aims: The aim of the study was to better understand the connection between shifts in students' control appraisals and changes in the physiological component…
