Using Paper Presentation Breaks during Didactic Lectures Improves Learning of Physiology in Undergraduate Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ghorbani, Ahmad; Ghazvini, Kiarash – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
Many studies have emphasized the incorporation of active learning into classrooms to reinforce didactic lectures for physiology courses. This work aimed to determine if presenting classic papers during didactic lectures improves the learning of physiology among undergraduate students. Twenty-two students of health information technology were…

Evaluating Learning among Undergraduate Medical Students in Schools with Traditional and Problem-Based Curricula
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Meo, Sultan Ayoub – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
This study aimed to assess knowledge and skills in a respiratory physiology course in traditional versus problem-based learning (PBL) groups in two different medical schools. Two different undergraduate medical schools were selected for this study. The first medical school followed the traditional [lecture-based learning (LBL)] curriculum, and the…

Flipped Classroom Model Improves Graduate Student Performance in Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Renal Physiology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tune, Johnathan D.; Sturek, Michael; Basile, David P. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a traditional lecture-based curriculum versus a modified "flipped classroom" curriculum of cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal physiology delivered to first-year graduate students. Students in both courses were provided the same notes and recorded lectures. Students in the…

How Much Structuring Is Beneficial with Regard to Examination Scores? A Prospective Study of Three Forms of Active Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reinhardt, Claus H.; Rosen, Evelyne N. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
Many studies have demonstrated a superiority of active learning forms compared with traditional lecture. However, there is still debate as to what degree structuring is necessary with regard to high exam outcomes. Seventy-five students from a premedical school were randomly attributed to an active lecture group, a cooperative group, or a…

Active Learning in the Classroom: A Muscle Identification Game in a Kinesiology Course
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McCarroll, Michele L.; Pohle-Krauza, Rachael J.; Martin, Jennifer L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2009
It is often difficult for educators to teach a kinesiology and applied anatomy (KAA) course due to the vast amount of information that students are required to learn. In this study, a convenient sample of students ("class A") from one section of a KAA course played the speed muscle introduction and matching game, which is loosely based off the…

Understanding Protein Synthesis: A Role-Play Approach in Large Undergraduate Human Anatomy and Physiology Classes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sturges, Diana; Maurer, Trent W.; Cole, Oladipo – Advances in Physiology Education, 2009
This study investigated the effectiveness of role play in a large undergraduate science class. The targeted population consisted of 298 students enrolled in 2 sections of an undergraduate Human Anatomy and Physiology course taught by the same instructor. The section engaged in the role-play activity served as the study group, whereas the section…

Comparing Biology Majors from Large Lecture Classes with TA-Facilitated Laboratories to Those from Small Lecture Classes with Faculty-Facilitated Laboratories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Goodman, Barbara E.; Koster, Karen L.; Redinius, Patrick L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2005
The teaching faculty for this course sought to address their own concerns about the quality of student learning in an impersonal large lecture biology class for majors, the difficulties in getting to know each student by name, and difficulties in soliciting answers and reactions from the students during the lecture. Questions addressed by this…
