A Case Study of Using Mobile Applications and Peripherals to Encourage "Real-Life" Critical Analysis in Human Physiology
Peart, Daniel J.; Fairhead, Orrin J.; Stamp, Keyleigh A.
Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, v6 n2 p128-135 2018
This paper shares a practice of encouraging critical analysis in science students by comparing mobile applications and peripherals to traditional tools to record physiological variables such as heart rate and blood pressure. A progressive series of case studies is described with learning outcomes mapped to the benchmark statement for Bioscience from the United Kingdom's Quality Assurance Agency. A student reflection and staff commentary of the practice is also offered.
