Leveraging systematic review practice for research skill development in an undergraduate science course: A case study
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.1152/advan.00171.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInformation literacy skills are an important part of research skills for undergraduate science students. This case study presents a novel approach to developing these types of research skills. By deconstructing the research process into separate steps, explicitly defining, and practicing the skills involved, students can progressively develop these skills and apply them. In this course, systematic reviews are used as exemplars for the research process. We align the Research Skills Development Framework with the steps of a systematic...

Teaching the tutors: use of an OSTE to train medical students to be peer tutors
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Jun 1;48(2):368-377. doi: 10.1152/advan.00007.2024.ABSTRACTFirst-year medical students are often challenged by the rapid pace and large volume of content that must be learned. Peer teaching has emerged as a supportive educational strategy. However, the most effective strategies for training peer tutors (PTs) for their role are not known. This paper examines the use of an Objective Structured Teaching Exercise (OSTE) to augment PT training sessions. Applying deliberate practice as a conceptual framework, an OSTE was used to provide tutors with an opportunity to practice their skills and receive feedba...

The Inverted Case Study Technique: Changing the Traditional Case-Study Approach to Prioritize Physiological Mechanisms Over Correct Diagnosis and Treatment
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1152/advan.00180.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe traditional case study has been used as a learning tool for the past 100 years and in our program, graduate physiology students are presented with a real-world scenario and must determine the diagnosis and treatment of the patient. We found that students defaulted to memorization of disease with treatment and bypassed gaining an understanding of the mechanistic physiology behind disease and treatment. To adjust our student's approach, we developed a novel way to enhance student learning. In order to accomplish this shift from me...

Modelling the extracellular potential generated by a muscle fiber as the output signal of a convolutional system
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1152/advan.00238.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA central topic in Bioelectricity is the generation of the extracellular potential that results from the propagation of a transmembrane action potential along the muscle fiber. However, the way in which the extracellular potential is determined by the propagating action potential is difficult to describe, conceptualize and visualize. Moreover, traditional quantitative approaches aimed at modelling extracellular potentials involve complex mathematical formulations, which do not allow students to visualize how the extracellular potent...

A Partially Flipped Physiology Classroom Improves the Deep Learning Approach of Medical Students
This study aimed to compare the impact of the partially flipped physiology classroom (PFC) and the traditional lecture-based classroom (TLC) on students' learning approaches. The study was conducted over five months at Xiangya School of Medicine from February to July 2022 and comprised 71 students majoring in clinical medicine. The experimental group (n = 32) received PFC teaching, while the control group (n = 39) received TLC. The Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) was used to assess the impact of different teaching methods on students' learning approaches. After the PFC, students got significantly ...
