Spencer; Estevão Scudese; Beverly Owens; Chia Vang; Derrick J. Morton; Zachary Conley; Antentor Hinton Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
There remains a clear deficiency in recruiting middle school students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields, especially for those students entering physiology from underrepresented backgrounds. A large part of this may be arising from a disconnect between how science is typically practiced at a collegiate and K-12…

Crawford, A. J.; Hays, Cassandra L.; Schlichte, Sarah L.; Greer, Sydney E.; Mallard, Halle J.; Singh, Ryan M.; Clarke, Martina A.; Schiller, Alicia M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Substantial, involved, and expensive efforts to promote the dissemination of scientific knowledge and career interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are enthusiastically supported by many scientific, federal, and local organizations. The articulated underlying goals for these efforts include an enhanced public…

Stieben, Margaret E.; Pressley, Thomas A.; Matyas, Marsha Lakes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Many national reports call for K-12 teachers to increase their content knowledge, expertise in student-centered learning methods, and skills in working with an increasingly diverse student population. Historically, most teacher professional development (PD) has not addressed these multiple challenges. We evaluated two PD models--research…

Zuercher, Jennifer L.; Gopalan, Chaya – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Diabetes, a chronic condition that impacts millions, is a complex disease. Understanding the disease can contribute to increasing awareness about this debilitating condition and preventing occurrences. Furthermore, inculcation of physiology knowledge may lead to an increased likelihood of career goals that align with this area of study. In pursuit…

Terson de Paleville, Daniela; Harman, Kathryn; Richards, Eileen; Jaggers, Jason R.; King, Kristi – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
The Physiology Understanding (PhUn) Week is a national outreach event sponsored by the American Physiological Society. Our PhUn team conducted an event for 551 students (12.5 ± 0.9 yr old) in a middle school in Indiana. The aims of this program were to: (1) teach about the negative consequences of inactivity on cardiovascular (CV) health and…

Remmele, Martin; Martens, Andreas – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
Sculpting representations of human organs out of modeling clay is an acknowledged method of teaching anatomical structures. Because of its potential to provide detailed spatial information, stereoscopic imagery can be understood to function as a suitable template for such sculpting tasks. Currently, it is unknown whether the advantages of…

Clarke, Martina A.; Sharma, Neeru M.; Schiller, Alicia M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
Scientific advocacy and outreach programs are encouraged to increase public understanding of scientific knowledge and generate interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. However, evaluation of these events' effectiveness is difficult and somewhat rare. This study's purpose was to better understand how effective…

da Silva de Vargas, Liane; Rosa de Menezes, Jefferson; Billig Mello-Carpes, Pâmela – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
In this article, the authors describe a set of activities performed in south Brazil that are aligned with the objectives of PhUn Week and promote the integration between universities and public schools and the dissemination of knowledge of physiology. To achieve this goal, the authors adopted a program in which undergraduate physiology students…

Marcus, Leanne; Plumeri, Julia; Baker, Gary M.; Miller, Jon S. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
A previously published classroom teaching method for helping students visualize and understand Michaelis-Menten kinetics (19) was used as an anticipatory set with high school and middle school science teachers in an Illinois Math and Science Partnership Program. As part of the activity, the teachers were asked to collect data by replicating the…
