Games and analogies can significantly enrich the learning experience when integrated with traditional expository teaching methods. With this aim, we developed "The Mystery of the Cell Kingdom," an online game designed to enhance understanding of the physiology of thyroid hormones through a medieval analogy. In the game, students are…

The teaching of physiology plays a crucial role in the education of health care professionals. However, traditional approaches to physiology classes in undergraduate health courses in Brazil often result in passive student participation. Research has shown that active methodologies are more effective in the learning process. In this study, we…

Marcos Vinícius Ramos Afonso; Rodrigo Braga Lopes; Eric Francelino Andrade; Luciano José Pereira – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Endocrine physiology is a complex subject for students. Game-based learning (GBL) and case-based learning (CBL) are active methodologies that are widely used because of their potential for motivation and greater proximity to the reality of modern students. We evaluated the effectiveness of GBL and CBL among veterinary medicine students compared…

Skyler Bruggink; Jeff W. Dawson; Iain W. McKinnell – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
Gamification is a pedagogical strategy that uses the principles and mechanics of game play to facilitate student learning. Despite increased adoption over the last decade, the question of how effective gamification is as a pedagogical strategy remains controversial. Here we report on the impact of a custom developed mobile app that incorporates…

Horn, Margaux A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…
