Juan M. Sanchez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Bias assessment (systematic errors) is fundamental in industry and service laboratories, where reliable results must be obtained to give correct answers to specific problems. Therefore, knowledge and practice in quality methodologies is of fundamental importance for students. Unfortunately, laboratory lessons often focus on connecting theory and…

Javier Rodriguez-Falces – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
A central topic in Bioelectricity is the generation of the extracellular potential that results from the propagation of a transmembrane action potential along the muscle fiber. However, the way in which the extracellular potential is determined by the propagating action potential is difficult to describe, conceptualize, and visualize. Moreover,…

García, María Aguilar; Losada, Noela Rodríguez – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Nowadays, Augmented and VR in teaching disciplines such as Human Anatomy has made it feasible to promote learning through a gamification process that allows the development of teaching-learning proposals that improve students' motivation significant learning and not merely memoirist. This new practice moves away from the traditional methods used…

Torres, Néstor; Santos, Guido – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2017
Enzyme kinetics is an essential part of biochemistry programs, which have been gaining importance in recent years for their applications in biotechnology and biomedicine. The teaching and learning of these issues has been traditionally hampered by difficulties that stem mainly from the dynamic and mathematical nature of the topic and the…

Pérez-Pereira, Miguel; Cruz, Raquel – First Language, 2018
The vocabulary size and composition of one group of full-term and three groups of low risk preterm children with different gestational ages (GA) were longitudinally compared at 10, 22 and 30 months of age. Expressive vocabulary development was assessed through the CDI. Cognitive development was also assessed at 22 months (Batelle Developmental…

Penkauskiene, Daiva; Railiene, Asta; Cruz, Gonçalo – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Although Critical Thinking (CT) has been a desirable aim expressed both by higher education institutions and labour market professionals, studies on what CT means and what it looks like in the workplace are scarce. The current study intends to tackle this gap by sharing findings about the importance of CT and its practical manifestation in…

Martín, Francisco Javier Ferrero; Martínez, Alberto López; Llopis, Marta Valledor; Rodriguez, Juan Carlos Campo; Viejo, Cecilio Blanco; Vershinin, Yuri A. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2015
Ongoing technological progress in measurement systems triggered the development of an in­novative, hands-on teaching program to help students toward a fuller understanding of recent changes in the field. This paper presents a lab project that links theoretical principles with the practical issues of signal conditioning systems. This is…

Rodriguez-Falces, Javier – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
In electrophysiology studies, it is becoming increasingly common to explain experimental observations using both descriptive methods and quantitative approaches. However, some electrophysiological phenomena, such as the generation of extracellular potentials that results from the propagation of the excitation source along the muscle fiber, are…
