Advances in physiology and other fields are strongly associated with a solid base
knowledge of biochemistry and cell metabolism. On the other hand, the complex and …

This article describes the transition from a traditional instructor‐centered course, based on
lectures, to a student‐centered course based on active learning methodologies as part of the …

In this work, we describe the use of several strategies employing the philosophies of active
learning and problem-based learning (PBL) that may be used to improve the teaching of …

Metabolism is always a challenging topic in biochemistry. In our project, a courseware called
Metabolism Metro was developed. Metabolism Metro is a self-learning tool which aims to …

Medical students tend to have difficulties in developing a holistic view of metabolic pathway
and hormone regulation. To address this issue, an interactive activity was implemented for …

Introduction: Medical education today, encourages modification of traditional didactic
lectures with innovations to promote active learning strategies to enhance integration of …

Background: Concept building is very important for learning physiology. Active involvement
of the students when a particular topic is being taught has been hypothesized to benefit the …

The Biochemistry: Biomolecules Structure and Metabolism course's goal is to promote
meaningful learning through an active learning environment. Thus, study periods (SP) and …

This paper describes a senior biochemistry course that consists of a structured, guided
format for reading and discussing current literature articles. Three class periods are allowed …

Metabolism is a challenging subject for bioscience students due to the intrinsic complexity of
the metabolic network, as well as that of the overlapping mechanisms of metabolic …
