Molina, M. Carmen; Palomino, Javier; Costilla-Legaz, Óscar R. – American Biology Teacher, 2023
Plant Physiology and Ecophysiology (PPE) is a subject taught in the biology degree. One of the skills that students must acquire is "the ability to solve PPE problems." Acquiring this competence requires a precise working methodology, a high degree of presence, and teamwork between teachers and students. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic…

Tise, Joseph C.; Sperling, Rayne A.; Dann, Michael S.; Young, Taylor M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Analogical reasoning is an important type of cognition often used by experts across domains. Little research, however, has investigated how generating analogies can support college students' self-regulated learning (SRL) of biology. This study therefore evaluated a contextualized cognitive learning strategy intervention designed to teach students…

Doherty, Jennifer H.; Cerchiara, Jack A.; Scott, Emily E.; Jescovitch, Lauren N.; McFarland, Jenny L.; Haudek, Kevin C.; Wenderoth, Mary Pat – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The Physiology Core Concept of flow down gradients is a major concept in physiology, as pressure gradients are the key driving force for the bulk flow of fluids in biology. However, students struggle to understand that this principle is foundational to the mechanisms governing bulk flow across diverse physiological systems (e.g., blood flow,…

For centuries we have been using food for our well-being and health maintenance. As far back as Hippocrates (known as the father of medicine), food has been a center stone used as the good or suffering of humanity. The Bible references food and fasting, cleansing and revitalization to heal the spirit. Before the scientific discovery of synthetic…
