A novel instructional activity using neuroscience core concepts as a pedagogical tool to improve contextualization of primary research articles
Reading primary literature is beneficial for STEM students but, as novice learners, they struggle to integrate research into larger knowledge frameworks and to apply findings beyond a narrow scope. Best practices for teaching primary scientific literature often emphasize development of conceptual knowledge, scientific process competency, or affective goals rather than the goal of contextualizing research. We hypothesized that a novel pedagogical …
Core concepts
Core concepts are “big ideas” that are central to a discipline, provide frameworks of understanding for disciplinary content, and aid student transfer of learning. Core concept lists have been developed for increasing numbers of higher education STEM disciplines. This mini-review uses physiology and neuroscience core concepts as examples to inform core concept pedagogies in these and other disciplines. The article reviews the development of physi…
