The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience and developmental biology
  • Educational technology and pedagogy

Background:

  • Spontaneous tail coiling (STC) in zebrafish embryos is a key indicator of motor development and a biomarker for neurotoxicity.
  • Traditional STC assays are valuable for teaching scientific inquiry but are limited by time, cost, and resource constraints in undergraduate labs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate ZebraSTMe, a computer-based educational module utilizing STC analysis.
  • To enhance undergraduate students' science process skills and engagement with novel scientific content.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the ZebraSTMe computer-based module integrating STC assay principles.
  • Evaluation of student learning perceptions, material quality, and knowledge acquisition.
  • Thematic analysis of student feedback on module activities and self-reflection.

Main Results:

  • Students reported improved skills in statistical analysis, data representation, and experimental discussion.
  • Positive student evaluations regarding material quality and ease of use, with constructive feedback for revisions.
  • Module activities fostered student reflection on professional strengths and weaknesses.

Conclusions:

  • ZebraSTMe effectively improves undergraduate science process skills and engagement with neurodevelopmental research.
  • The module addresses practical limitations of traditional lab assays, offering a scalable and cost-effective educational tool.
  • Integrating novel research topics like STC analysis via digital modules enhances scientific education and promotes self-awareness in students.
