Integration of Student Centered Physiology learning into related high school Science courses

Student centered teaching was previously found to enhance student understanding and even improve performance of students in other courses taken in the same semester in high school. In an effort to improve student performance in related science classes, the same student centered methods used in my Physiology and Disease class were implemented in a Biophysics class this semester. Initial student surveys showed that students preferred diverse teaching methods and hands on experiences to help them understand and transfer material better. Students also felt that integrating physiology concepts into Biophysics helped them understand the material from two very different perspectives, giving them a “more complete picture”. Further research and statistical evaluations of student test scores at the end of the semester are planned. These preliminary results suggest that student centered physiology learning can extend a positive influence when integrated into related science classes.
