TEACHING METHODS IN PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Comparison between traditional teaching and small groups teaching methods in teaching physiology respiratory system in medical students: Hormozgan university of medical science

Introduction: Lecture is the most applied method for teaching theory courses to medical students. This method is not accountable for the high current needs of students and leads to boring classes. This study was designed to assess the teaching effectiveness of active learning in small group sessions, compared with passive learning in didactic lectures. Methods: This study was carried out ...

An Inquiry-based Approach to Teaching Plant Physiology

The principles of plant physiology are best learned in an environment where students are directly engaged in the process of scientific inquiry. Working from this assumption, we have developed a two-stage approach to laboratory instruction that fosters student-directed research within an undergraduate plant physiology course. During the first 10 weeks of a 16week semester, students develop compe...

Teaching physiology by combined passive (pedagogical) and active (andragogical) methods.

Pedagogy and andragogy are models of education based, respectively, on passive and active learning. This project compared two balanced sections of an undergraduate course in physiology. Both sections used the pedagogical method of didactic lectures to present basic material. Students in section 01 were given multiple-choice examinations, a pedagogical procedure, over the lecture content for the...

Recent Trends in Plant Physiology

Metabolomics in plant environmental physiology.

Changes in plant metabolism are at the heart of plant developmental processes, underpinning many of the ways in which plants respond to the environment. As such, the comprehensive study of plant metabolism, or metabolomics, is highly valuable in identifying phenotypic effects of abiotic and biotic stresses on plants. When study is in reference to analysing samples that are relevant to environme...
