For Wooden, success was not about defeating others or standing out in a competition but about personal growth, self-improvement, and the pursuit of excellence. His philosophy offers a powerful lesson, particularly for educators, as they guide students through their academic journeys. Wooden's message highlights the importance of fostering an environment where success is measured by effort and progress, not merely by grades or test scores. Unfortunately, many educators seem to overlook this, focusing heavily on grades as the primary measure of achievement. By placing such a strong emphasis on grades, teachers inadvertently create a culture where students begin to equate their self-worth with their performance on a test. This not only diminishes the value of personal growth but also fosters anxiety and discouragement among students who may struggle academically. Students may begin to fear being wrong and avoid challenges and opportunities. This limits creativity and the chance to learn, grow, and contribute to society. Wooden's wisdom reminds us that educators have the power to influence how students perceive success. By encouraging a more holistic view of achievement, one that values hard work, resilience, and continuous improvement, teachers can help students develop a healthier, more positive understanding of what it means to succeed. In today's educational system, this shift is crucial, as too many students are being taught to see their value solely in terms of grades, rather than their personal and intellectual growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":50852,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Physiology Education","volume":" ","pages":"93-95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142734239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These viewpoints have shaped research and knowledge frameworks for decades and led to an inaccurate and incomplete reproductive biology curriculum. To combat these deficiencies in reproductive systems-related education, our teaching team undertook a gradual transformation of unit content from 2018 to 2023, aiming to better reflect real diversity in human reproductive biology. This initiative involved intentional modifications, including clear use of pronoun self-identification by staff. We addressed the historical lack of representation of genital variation and helped students interrogate oversimplified reproductive biology binaries. A novel assignment was also introduced, prompting students to apply reproductive physiology knowledge to propose innovative assisted reproductive technology solutions for diverse demographics. The collective impact of these innovations had a positive effect on student learning. With improved lecture content and inclusive language, the proportion of inclusive group assignment topics chosen by students more than doubled in 2021. By 2022, coinciding with assessment topic changes, the percentage of inclusive assignments topics surpassed 50%. Further development of laboratory activities on intersex genital variation and genital modification raised further understanding of genital, sexual, gender, and cultural diversity. While implementing these changes posed challenges, pushing both staff and students out of their comfort zones at times, collaboration with relevant organizations and individuals with lived experience of queer identity proved integral. Ultimately, these relatively simple adjustments had a substantial impact on student experiences and appreciation for diversity.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> We outline the teaching innovations that we have implemented to improve inclusion of diversity in reproductive biology and physiology contexts.
