How to Amplify Learning in A&P

TAPP Radio Episode 53

Quick Take

Host Kevin Patton summarizes many strategies from learning science that can amplify learning in our courses. Also, updates in the role of exosomes in the spread of cancer and how activity type affects the shape of our heart.

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results. (John Dewey)

blood brain barrier

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes and oncosomes play important roles in spreading cancer. For example, exosomes play a role in the metastasis of breast and lung cancer, through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to the brain tissue. We are still working out the mechanisms.

5 | Activity & Heart Shape

4.5 minutes heart

Evolution has played a role in making human hearts similar to chimpanzee hearts. The left ventricle is thick-walled and short—best suited for shorter and perhaps intense bursts of activity. However, the heart is able to elongate and have a thinner wall to adapt to a lifestyle that features endurance activity.

  • Selection of endurance capabilities and the trade-off between pressure and volume in the evolution of the human heart (research article) my-ap.us/2AEbvpO
    • ” the human (LV) evolved numerous features that help to augment stroke volume (SV), enabling moderate-intensity EPA. We also show that phenotypic plasticity of the human LV trades off pressure adaptations for volume capabilities, becoming more similar to a chimpanzee-like heart in response to physical inactivity or chronic pressure loading.”

NYCC Human Anatomy and Physiology InstructionThe Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers. A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you power up  your teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program. Check it out!

7 | Amplifying Learning in A&P

35 minutes amplify

In this discussion, Kevin borrows a mnemonic acronym from Yee and Boyd (cited below) that summarizes key strategies derived from learning science (cognitive psychology) and riffs on adapting it to the A&P course to amplify learning.
