Competency-based physiology and biochemistry education can benefit from the creative integration of imaginative narratives into traditional teaching methods. This paper proposes an innovative model using a pen and palm analogy to visualize enzyme function theories. The pen (substrate) must fit snugly into the palm (enzyme's active site) for…

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…

Homburger, Sheila A.; Drits-Esser, Dina; Malone, Molly; Stark, Louisa A. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Arguing from evidence is one of eight key science practices in which students should engage. It is an essential component of science, yet students have difficulties with this practice. We describe a scaffolded claims-evidence-reasoning (CER) argumentation framework that is embedded within a new eight-week, freely available curriculum unit…

Anderson, Trevor R.; Schonborn, Konrad J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2008
The term "conceptual understanding" has been used rather loosely over the years in educational practice, with a tendency to focus on a few aspects of an extremely complex phenomenon. In this first article of a two-part miniseries on conceptual understanding, we describe the nature of expert (versus novice) knowledge and show how the conceptual…

Schonborn, Konrad J.; Anderson, Trevor R. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2008
The first paper in this two-part miniseries on conceptual understanding discussed expert and novice conceptual knowledge, the multifaceted nature of conceptual understanding, and the cognitive skills essential for constructing it. This second article presents examples of instruments for the assessment and development of five facets of conceptual…

Griff, Edwin R. – American Biology Teacher, 2006
Information in the nervous system is conveyed by impulses called action potentials: large, transient electrochemical changes in a neuron's membrane. Though action potentials are a basic feature of neurons, teachers often have trouble explaining this neurophysiological concept, and students have difficulty understanding it. While easy-to-understand…
