Use of brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis) physiological responses to stress as a teaching exercise.American Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang S18-23 - 2000
Boucar Diouf, Pierre Rioux, Pierre Blier, D. Rajotte
Fish hematological changes during osmotic and cold stress are used to introduce the physiological reactions of the animal to an acute stress. Brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis) were subjected to 1 h of stress before being anesthetized and having blood taken from their caudal vein. Glucose, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and osmolarity were determined in the blood samples. Analyses showed that gl...... hiện toàn bộ
A physiologist's view of homeostasisAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 259-266 - 2015
Harold Modell, William Cliff, Joel Michael, Jenny McFarland, Mary Pat Wenderoth, Ann Wright
Homeostasis is a core concept necessary for understanding the many regulatory mechanisms in physiology. Claude Bernard originally proposed the concept of the constancy of the “milieu interieur,” but his discussion was rather abstract. Walter Cannon introduced the term “homeostasis” and expanded Bernard's notion of “constancy” of the internal environment in an explicit and concrete way. In ...... hiện toàn bộ
Combining simulated patients and simulators: pilot study of hybrid simulation in teaching cardiac auscultationAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 343-347 - 2014

Auscultation torsos are widely used to teach position-dependent heart sounds and murmurs. To provide a more realistic teaching experience, both whole body auscultation mannequins and torsos have been used in clinical examination skills training at the Medical Faculty of the University of Muenster since the winter term of 2008–2009. This training has since been extended by simulated patien...... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of professional-level faculty and student perceptions of active learning: its current use, effectiveness, and barriersAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 246-252 - 2014
Cynthia J. Miller, Michael J. Metz
Active learning is an instructional method in which students become engaged participants in the classroom through the use of in-class written exercises, games, problem sets, audience-response systems, debates, class discussions, etc. Despite evidence supporting the effectiveness of active learning strategies, minimal adoption of the technique has occurred in many professional programs.

Less teaching, more learning: 10-yr study supports increasing student learning through less coverage and more inquiryAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 36 Số 4 - Trang 325-335 - 2012
Douglas B. Luckie, Jacob R. Aubry, Benjamin J. Marengo, Aaron M. Rivkin, Lindsey A. Foos, Joseph J. Maleszewski
In this study, we compared gains in student content learning over a 10-yr period in which the introductory biology laboratory curriculum was changed in two ways: an increase of inquiry and a reduction of content. Three laboratory formats were tested: traditional 1-wk-long cookbook laboratories, two 7-wk-long inquiry laboratories, and one 14-wk-long inquiry laboratory. As the level of inqu...... hiện toàn bộ
Process-oriented guided-inquiry learning improves long-term retention of informationAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 233-241 - 2013

Many chemistry educators have adopted the process-oriented guided instructional learning (POGIL) pedagogy. However, it is not clear which aspects of POGIL are the most important in terms of actual learning. We compared 354 first-year undergraduate psychology students' learning in physiological psychology using four teaching methods: control, POGIL, POGIL without reporting [no report out (...... hiện toàn bộ
Process-oriented guided-inquiry learning in an introductory anatomy and physiology course with a diverse student populationAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 150-155 - 2010
Patrick J. P. Brown
Process-oriented guided-inquiry learning (POGIL), a pedagogical technique initially developed for college chemistry courses, has been implemented for 2 yr in a freshman-level anatomy and physiology course at a small private college. The course is populated with students with backgrounds ranging from no previous college-level science to junior and senior biology, biochemistry, and forensic...... hiện toàn bộ
Interactive mobile learning: a pilot study of a new approach for sport science and medical undergraduate studentsAmerican Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education - Tập 37 Số 4 - Trang 292-297 - 2013
Stewart S. Bruce-Low, S. Burnet, K. Arber, Daran Price, Lucy R. Webster, Marie Stopforth
Mobile learning has increasingly become interwoven into the fabric of learning and teaching in the United Kingdom higher education sector, and as technological issues become addressed, this phenomena has accelerated. The aim of the study was to examine whether learning using a mobile learning device (Samsung NC10 Netbook) loaded with interactive exercises promoted learning compared with a...... hiện toàn bộ
