Andrew M. Petzold; Shanna L. Altrichter – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Conventional teaching about obesity, especially within a physiology-based course, tends to focus on the biological aspects. Unfortunately, framing obesity from a solely biological perspective ignores many factors that contribute to the condition, leaving students with an overly simplistic idea. We developed an introductory exercise physiology…

Cardinali, Camila A. E. F.; Martins, Yandara A.; Prates, Rodrigo Pereira; de Araújo, Emmanuel Veríssimo; Viana, Felipe Jose Costa; de Sousa, Maria Eleticia; Bombardi, Eduardo da Cunha; Nunes, Maria Tereza – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Learning endocrine physiology can be challenging. Some physiological concepts are abstract, making the process of learning more difficult for students. The comprehension of basic concepts, such as chemical hormone classification, is essential to understand the differences in synthesis, secretion, transport, and mechanism of action of hormones. To…

Cunningham, Christopher J.; Giusto, Joseph; Reiss, Rachel; Garba, Deen L.; Lucke, Austin; Eltilib, Mohamed; Hastie, Eric – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
There is evidence that demonstrates that teaching preclinical and clinical material can have numerous benefits for both students and teachers, with the majority of literature focusing on peer medical student teaching. There is a dearth of literature exploring the benefit of medical students teaching undergraduate, pre-health professional students…

Alshareef, Maram – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Medical education has seen a shift toward interactive teaching in small groups that actively involves students in learning. However, didactic teaching, despite drawbacks such as student isolation and low stimulation of critical thinking, is still a very commonly used teaching method. For didactic teaching to be effective, teachers must possess…

Michael, Joel – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Students often fail to utilize what they know about one topic (e.g., hemodynamics) when attempting to master another topic involving a similar phenomenon (e.g., airflow in airways). What accounts for this difficulty that students have? And how can students be assisted in doing a better job of applying what they already know to new topics? The…

Tyler, Christopher James; Debevec, Tadej; Cheung, Stephen S. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic provoked a need for rapid adaptation of teaching strategies and learning environments. Thus novel approaches, predominantly based on online/virtual platforms are needed to minimize the negative effects of the pandemic on teaching (and learning). Herein we describe our recent web-based symposium series on environmental…

Rhodes, Ashley – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The value of active learning for increasing student comprehension and retention of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts within undergraduate courses has proven to be beneficial many times over; however, barriers still exist for both instructors and students. For example, instructors are often left to decide what type…

Derganc, Jure; Gomišcek, Gregor – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used methods in clinical diagnosis. Here we describe an experimental approach that offers hands-on learning of its basic principles. An experimental model that consists of a rubber foil with a low electrical conductivity and a DC power unit is used to simulate the body and the electric dipole of…

The Smart Skeleton: An Open-Source, Interactive Tool for Teaching Muscle Actions and Joint Movements
Pattillo, John M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
This paper describes the design, construction, and use of an open-source hardware and software tool intended to help Anatomy and Physiology students test their knowledge of muscle actions and joint movements. Orientation sensors are attached to a model skeleton to turn the skeleton into an interactive, physical model for teaching limb movements. A…

Memon, Ismail; Feroz, Zeeshan; Alkushi, Abdulmohsen; Qamar, Nabeel; Ismail, Farwa – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The College of Science and Health Professions offers a university preprofessional program. Like most medical schools in Saudi Arabia, the teaching delivery strategy in the university preprofessional program is on campus and face-to-face. During the month of March 2020, teaching activities of the spring semester were proceeding as normal; however,…

Jagzape, Arunita; Gupta, Ankit; Ghritlahre, Nilabh – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Understanding the gross organization of skeletal muscle is critical to understanding the mechanism of action of muscle physiology. Due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), many colleges have had to discontinue or curtail teaching and laboratory activities. Whether students are in the classroom or learning online, it is important for them to…

Gomez, Noe A.; Du, Min – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The field of life sciences encompasses a myriad of disciplines that collectively provide insight toward the intrinsic framework of life. Developmental physiology is one of these disciplines that can describe the origins of life at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal level. However, organismal development is a continual process that…

Martay, Jennifer L. B.; Martay, Hugo; Carpes, Felipe P. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Remote teaching can be both challenging and motivating. Professors and lecturers have developed innovative strategies to improve students' education and engage students in synchronous and asynchronous classes. In this Illuminations paper, we describe BodyWorks, online tools to support courses in physiology, motor control, and biomechanics. The…

Christ, Andreas; Barowsky, Dieter; Gekle, Michael; Thews, Oliver – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Functional understanding of the different parts of the cardiovascular system is essential for an insight into pathomechanisms of numerous diseases. During training cardiovascular physiology, students and early-stage medical personnel should understand the role of different functional parameters for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as…

Goodhead, Lauren K.; MacMillan, Frances M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
The authors have experienced increasing demand from undergraduate students, particularly those in the early years of study, to be able to access more "test-style" material to help with revision, as well as guidance on how to approach their university assessments. With increased use of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in university…
