Abstract
Since physiology is so complex and changes all the time, it is difficult to teach. Over the years, considerable learning about how students think and learn has developed which steers teachers to adopt more effective teaching techniques and value student active engagement in the classroom. The method described in this paper is constructed models approach, a studentcentered approach appropriate for teaching physiology. After the physiology lectures and reviewing essential literature, the students worked in small groups to build relatively low-cost models that allowed them to work on physiology topics. All through this experience, teaching assistants and instructors regularly supported the groups which ended with each group making a presentation at the Integrative Physiology Symposium. Students successfully produced 118 physiological-physical models that clearly displayed how various physiological mechanisms function. The approach allowed students to try meaningful learning methods that met their individual needs. This method has been proven to make teaching and learning physiology interesting, reachable and simple, in line with current concerns about using experimental animals and new standards for training professionals. Encouraging students to take part in building knowledge may help them learn more and improve their job-related skills.
