Synopsis

This work attempts to respond to a well-acknowledged flaw in current science education - over-reliance on the conventional lecture-oriented curriculum - by offering descriptions of practical techniques to elicit active student participation in learning rather than passive ingestion of facts. The aim of these papers is to provide faculty members who teach physiology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels with methods that can be used in the laboratory, the lecture hall, and in other settings as well, to promote a learning environment in which students can actively integrate concepts, frame hypotheses and predict how physiological systems will respond in a variety of situations.
