Direct linkThompson, Andrew R.; Giffin, Bruce F. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Gross anatomy is considered by many the backbone of medical education. While learning anatomy has a reputation of requiring mainly rote memorization, modern day anatomy education often involves instruction and assessment at cognitive levels that foster higher-order thinking. In many instances, these higher-order anatomical concepts are taught to…

Canbolat, Yusuf; Rutkowski, David; Rutkowski, Leslie – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
In low-income countries, there exists a common concern about the effect of hunger and food insecurity on educational outcomes. However, income inequalities, economic slowdown, conflict, and climate change have raised those concerns globally. Yet, little is known about how widespread the problem of hunger in schools is worldwide. This study…
