HAPS 2017 Workshop (in Salt Lake City): "Teaching Physiology from Core Concepts"
Abstract: Our goal in undergraduate education is for students to understand and apply core concepts in physiology. Many reports (including Vision & Change) have come to this conclusion. Our physiology education research team worked with members of HAPS, APS and others to develop published conceptual frameworks (homeostasis, cell-cell communication and flow down gradients), identify misconceptions, validate a concept inventory and made recommendations for teaching physiology from core concepts. In this workshop participants will work with and discuss a suite of published tools to help frame student learning and instruction as well as course and program design in physiology and A&P. Supported by NSF DUE-1043443.

HAPS 2017 Poster (in Salt Lake City): "Developing Learning Progressions in Undergraduate Physiology (LeaP UP)"
Abstract: A learning progression helps us understand how students' mental models of principles are refined and strengthened over a curriculum. We have proposed a learning progression to describe how students reason about the physiological principles of flux and mass balance as this set of basic principles apply to and explain the mechanisms of a wide variety of physiological systems. We have used our learning progression to design an assessment and are using computerized text analysis to analyze students' responses. When developed, this automated assessment system will allow for wide-spread use of the learning progression and assessment in undergraduate physiology
