Lessons from the Year of COVID-19: Insights, Projections, and Next Steps in a High School Pathophysiology Classroom
Advances in Physiology Education, v48 n1 p105-111 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic not only affected education at its peak, it continues to affect learning in its aftermath. High schools were forced to transition to remote learning, throwing students and educators alike into a new reality. Recovering from the pandemic has forced the need for innovative ways to engage students. Some successful attempts at modifying quizzes, lab activities, and assessments in my pathophysiology classroom are described in this article. In addition, students were also given extra time on assessments, and their feedback was incorporated into the course to improve it for future iterations. It was observed that student gains between pre- and posttests increased after the pandemic as a result of these modifications.
