Direct linkTyler B. Becker; Vanessa N. Cardino; James Lucas; Jenifer I. Fenton – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Critical thinking is a common and important learning outcome in college curricula. Case-based and problem-based learning can be used to assess and foster critical thinking skills. HNF 250--Contemporary Issues in Human Nutrition is a critical thinking course developed during the redesign of a nutritional sciences major program. Course assignments…

Memon, Ismail; Alkushi, Abdulmohsen; Shewar, Dur E.; Anjum, Irfan; Feroz, Zeeshan – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Many medical schools offer pre-professional programs to undergraduate students. The main purpose of the university pre-professional program (UPPP) is to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills required to successfully cope with the academic demands of further education provided by professional colleges. The aim of this commentary…

LaRocca, Thomas J.; Justice, Jamie N.; Seals, Douglas R.; Martens, Christopher R. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
A major goal of graduate education is the development of students as "stewards of the discipline," scholars who can create and preserve knowledge and responsibly translate it through writing, teaching, and practical applications. These qualities are consistent with the American Physiological Society's list of professional skills for…

Motz, Benjamin A.; James, Karin H.; Busey, Thomas A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
Despite a profusion of popular misinformation about the left brain and right brain, there are functional differences between the left and right cerebral hemispheres in humans. Evidence from split-brain patients, individuals with unilateral brain damage, and neuroimaging studies suggest that each hemisphere may be specialized for certain cognitive…

Se, Alexandre B.; Passos, Renato M.; Ono, Andre H.; Hermes-Lima, Marcelo – Advances in Physiology Education, 2008
In this work, we describe the use of several strategies employing the philosophies of active learning and problem-based learning (PBL) that may be used to improve the teaching of metabolic biochemistry to medical and nutritional undergraduate students. The main activities are as follows: 1) a seminar/poster system in a mini-congress format (using…

Peer reviewedRangachari, P. K. – Advances in Physiology Education, 1991
An undergraduate course in pharmacology in which problem-based self-directed learning in the context of small groups provides students with an opportunity to take greater responsibility for their own learning is described. The objectives, examples of problems used in the course, and student evaluations of the course and tutors are included. (KR)
