Area of Science:

  • Physiology Education
  • Undergraduate Biology

Background:

  • Traditional physiology labs often lack integration with scientific inquiry.
  • Developing essential scientific skills requires hands-on, research-oriented approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an inquiry-based laboratory model for undergraduate physiology.
  • To integrate modern and classical physiological techniques with scientific skill development.

Main Methods:

  • A goal-oriented, cooperative learning approach in small student groups.
  • Utilizing a central theme throughout the semester to guide inquiry.
  • Incorporating a variety of physiological techniques for data collection and analysis.

Main Results:

  • Students developed key skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication.
