This study introduces an inquiry-based learning model for exercise physiology labs, enhancing student engagement and cognitive development through independent research projects. Students reported feeling empowered by project ownership, leading to successful learning outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Undergraduate Education
  • Pedagogical Innovation

Background:

  • Traditional exercise physiology labs often lack student engagement.
  • Cognitive development in laboratory settings requires innovative teaching methods.
  • Inquiry-based learning (IBL) can foster deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an inquiry-based learning model for undergraduate exercise physiology laboratories.
  • To enhance students' cognitive development of key laboratory concepts.
  • To foster student engagement and ownership in the scientific process.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an IBL model centered on two independent student-led research projects.
  • Guided-inquiry laboratory activities to build foundational skills and understanding of the scientific process.

  • Group work encompassing research question development, experimental design, data collection, analysis, and presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • High levels of student enthusiasm and engagement observed during laboratory activities.
    • Student surveys, journal entries, and interviews indicated a strong sense of empowerment.
    • Ownership of research projects was identified as a key factor in the model's success.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed inquiry-based learning model effectively stimulates cognitive development in exercise physiology labs.
    • Student empowerment through project ownership significantly contributes to engagement and learning.
    • This pedagogical approach offers a successful strategy for enhancing undergraduate science education.
