Abstract

An interdisciplinary team-teaching session was introduced to high school students who participated in the Oakland University William Beaumont Future Physician Summer Enrichment Program. The rising prevalence of adolescent obesity necessitates innovative educational strategies that effectively engage high school students in understanding the complex physiologic mechanisms and nutrition concepts underlying its development. This submission presents a session that is designed to integrate the physiological concepts and nutrition that are associated with the development of obesity. Foundational information about the different food ingredients and physiology of the gastrointestinal organ system followed by concepts associated with the development of obesity and its complications were introduced. The session was delivered using combined educational approaches such as a dialogical-narrative approach and hands-on application activities by two discipline experts, physiology and nutrition. This innovative approach was well received, as evidenced by high satisfaction rates among participants. While direct measures of critical thinking and practical skills development were not captured, the positive feedback suggests that students appreciated the engaging, hands-on application of theoretical concepts. The sessions fostered an awareness of personal health responsibilities, with students actively participating and connecting learned material with practical scenarios. We believe that using combined educational approaches in interdisciplinary team-teaching sessions promotes inclusiveness and interactive engagement and enhances long-life learning.NEW & NOTEWORTHY An interdisciplinary team-teaching session was introduced to high school students who participated in the Oakland University William Beaumont Future Physician Summer Enrichment Program. The session aimed to integrate physiological concepts and nutrition that are associated with the development of obesity. The session was delivered using combined educational approaches including a dialogical-narrative approach and hands-on application activity that are guided by combined learning theories such as dialogism, narrative, theories of engagement, and multimedia active learning.

采用创新教育方法,向高中生传授与肥胖症发展相关的生理机制和营养概念。
为参加奥克兰大学威廉-博蒙特分校(OUWB)未来医生暑期进修计划(FPSEP)的高中生开设了跨学科团队教学课程。该课程旨在整合与肥胖症发展相关的生理概念和营养学知识。课程介绍了不同食物成分的基础信息、肠胃器官系统的生理学,以及与肥胖症及其并发症发展相关的概念。课程采用了对话-讲述法和实践应用活动等综合教育方法。总的来说,高中生对这节课的评价非常好。这种创新方法有几个好处。它促进了批判性思维、实践技能的发展,并加深了对主题的理解。学生们积极主动地学习,将理论概念与现实世界的情景联系起来,并有机会培养保持健康的个人责任感。我们相信,在团队教学课程中使用综合教育方法能促进包容性、互动参与性,并提高长期学习能力。关键词:高中教育、创新、生理学、营养学、肥胖症。

期刊介绍: Advances in Physiology Education promotes and disseminates educational scholarship in order to enhance teaching and learning of physiology, neuroscience and pathophysiology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on our current understanding of physiological mechanisms. Submissions that evaluate new technologies for teaching and research, and educational pedagogy, are especially welcome. The audience for the journal includes educators at all levels: K–12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
