Active learning is a technique used to help transfer passive knowledge into true learning of material, which can be very beneficial when learning challenging topics. The endocrine system is a complex series of topics that can be challenging to tackle in the short amount of time allotted to it in the medical school curriculum or an undergraduate anatomy and physiology course. Pedagogical strategies that use art as a tool have been shown to motivate and induce students to self-learn such complex physiology topics. The hormone project was designed to help students manage the vast amount of information and acquire knowledge in a meaningful and creative way. Students were asked to create a visual project to depict an endocrine disorder that incorporated art into their learning of the endocrine system. Based on post-session survey results, students found the activity to be beneficial to their learning and they enjoyed engaging in the activity. Providing students with opportunities to engage with material in a creative, artistic manner can be both engaging and enjoyable. This activity provided students with a chance to develop their own memory hooks to facilitate easier recall of the complex topics in the endocrine system. A pilot study of this activity shows great promise to be a staple in curricula that embrace active learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
