A comparison of two learning approach inventories and their utility in predicting examination performance and study habits
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Jan 25. doi: 10.1152/advan.00227.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe revised two-factor Study Process Questionnaire and the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students are two instruments commonly used to measure student learning approach. While both are designed to measure similar constructs, it is unclear whether the metrics they provide differ in terms of their real-world classification of learning approach. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of these two inventories using a study population from an undergraduate (baccalaureate) human anatomy course. The three central goal...

A Workshop to Showcase the Diversity of Scientists to Middle School Students
This study aimed to examine these feelings of inclusivity in STEMM by offering an interactive workshop asking middle schoolers to identify scientists from various racial and gender identities. Here, we present a qualitative analysis pertaining to a workshop focused on identity administered to middle schoolers. We found that a plurality of students had a positive experience discussing diversity in science and recognizing underrepresented individuals as scientists. Implications for future education and outreach are further discussed.PMID:38234295 | DOI:10.1152/advan.00117.2023 (Source: Advances in Physiology Education)

The pulmonary physiology of exercise
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Jan 11. doi: 10.1152/advan.00067.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pulmonary system is the first and last 'line of defense' in terms of maintaining blood gas homeostasis during exercise. Our review provides the reader with an overview of how the pulmonary system responds to acute exercise. We undertook this endeavor to provide a companion article to "Cardiovascular Response to Exercise" which is published in Advances in Physiological Education. Together, these articles provide the readers with a solid foundation of the cardiopulmonary response to acute exercise in healthy individuals. The inten...

Beyond the Curriculum: Unveiling Medical Students' Drivers and Barriers to Research Participation at Alfaisal University
This study at Alfaisal University (AU) aimed to explore the motivations, benefits, and challenges faced by medical students in extracurricular research activities. Using a mixed-method approach, we combined quantitative surveys with qualitative group interviews. Findings revealed that both extrinsic (e.g., enhancing post-graduate training prospects) and intrinsic factors (e.g., personal interest and skill refinement) significantly motivate students to be involved in research activities. Participants unanimously acknowledged skill enhancement, particularly in literature comprehension, creative ideation, and networking. Howe...
