Andrade, Eric Francelino; Zaine Teixeira Debortoli, Gabriele; Gomes Batista, Victor Luiz; Newton Bizetto Meira de Andrade, James; Orlando, Débora Ribeiro; Rocha Lobo-Junior, Adalfredo – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Learning the physiology of the cardiovascular system can be difficult for students, but the use of active teaching methodologies can help and enhance learning. To facilitate the understanding of how the cardiovascular system works, we built a functional model for Veterinary Medicine students attending a cardiovascular physiology lecture and…

Mitrousias, Vasileios; Karachalios, Theofilos S.; Varitimidis, Sokratis E.; Natsis, Konstantinos; Arvanitis, Dimitrios L.; Zibis, Aristeidis H. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Human cadaveric prosections are a traditional, effective, and highly appreciated modality of anatomy learning. Plastic models are an alternative teaching modality, though few studies examine their effectiveness in learning of upper limb musculoskeletal anatomy. The purpose of this study is to investigate which modality is associated with a better…

Attardi, Stefanie M.; Choi, Suwhan; Barnett, John; Rogers, Kem A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
A fully online section of an existing face-to-face (F2F) systemic human anatomy course with a prosection laboratory was offered for the first time in 2012-2013. Lectures for F2F students (N = 365) were broadcast in both live and archived format to online students (N = 40) using virtual classroom software. Laboratories were delivered online by a…

Noel, Geoffroy P.J.C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2013
Anatomy teaching is seeing a decline in both lecture and laboratory hours across many medical schools in North America. New strategies are therefore needed to not only make anatomy teaching more clinically integrated, but also to implement new interactive teaching techniques to help students more efficiently grasp the complex organization of the…

Kanthakumar, Praghalathan; Oommen, Vinay – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
Numerous models have been constructed to aid teaching respiratory mechanics. A simple model using a syringe and a water-filled bottle has been described by Thomas Sherman to explain inspiration and expiration. The elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs has been described using a coat hanger or by using rods and rubber bands. A more complex…

Stanisavljevic, Jelena; Djuric, Dragan – Journal of Biological Education, 2013
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of models of programmed instruction and conventional (informative-illustrative) expository teaching in terms of fulfilling the aims of the course "Human anatomy and physiology" which is included in the physiology programme and designed for undergraduate students majoring in biology…

Johnson, Elizabeth O.; Charchanti, Antonia V.; Troupis, Theodore G. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2012
It has become increasingly apparent that no single method for teaching anatomy is able to provide supremacy over another. In an effort to consolidate and enhance learning, a modernized anatomy curriculum was devised by attempting to take advantage of and maximize the benefits from different teaching methods. Both the more traditional approaches to…
