Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.0K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Facilitated Transport01:19

Facilitated Transport

146.4K
The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In  facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a...

Induced-fit Model

88.9K
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Goodness-of-Fit Test

8.1K
The goodness-of-fit test is a type of hypothesis test which determines whether the data "fits" a particular distribution. For example, one may suspect that some anonymous data may fit a binomial distribution. A chi-square test (meaning the distribution for the hypothesis test is chi-square) can be used to determine if there is a fit. The null and alternative hypotheses may be written in sentences or stated as equations or inequalities. The test statistic for a goodness-of-fit test is given as...

Inclusive Fitness00:57

Inclusive Fitness

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Facilitated Diffusion01:16

Facilitated Diffusion

1.2K
The plasma membrane, a critical structure in cellular biology, houses an array of transporters, or carrier proteins, interspersed within its lipid bilayer. These proteins play a crucial role in solute transport through facilitated diffusion, a form of passive diffusion that uses transporters to move the molecules across the membrane.
In this process, substrates such as organic compounds and ions interact with a transporter on one side, triggering conformational changes in proteins that enable...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Instructional Design
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a widely adopted instructional strategy in health sciences.
  • Effective TBL facilitation requires unique skills distinct from traditional lecturing.
  • A validated instrument for assessing TBL facilitation quality was previously unavailable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Facilitator Instrument for Team-Based Learning (FIT).
  • To evaluate the quality of TBL facilitation in large and small group settings.
  • To provide a reliable tool for feedback to TBL instructors.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an 11-item instrument (FIT) rated on a 7-point scale.
  • Content validated by 12 TBL experts.
  • Piloted with 2,840 medical students across 7 institutions.
  • Analyzed internal structure using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha.

Main Results:

  • The FIT demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.97).
  • Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a single-factor structure, explaining 77% of variance.
  • FIT scores correlated significantly with class type, class size, and facilitator enjoyment.

Conclusions:

  • The FIT is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing TBL facilitation quality in medical education.
  • The instrument is useful across various institutional and teaching contexts.
  • Further research should explore additional facilitator variables and correlate FIT scores with direct observations.
