summary |
Students often struggle with the concepts of metabolism as they relate to biology, chemistry, and exercise physiology. This module assists students in developing a clearer understanding of the theory behind aerobic metabolism (presented during classroom periods). Each student participates in a cardiovascular fitness test and collects data from one of three possible protocols (treadmill, bicycle, and field test). The activities assist students in making "real-life" connections to classroom instruction as students are expected to draw conclusions from the graphs generated by the activity. They also are expected to differentiate between direct versus indirect measurement in science. Following the laboratory exercise, students present their findings according to the worksheets provided. |
details |
The process of aerobic metabolism is addressed in biology, chemistry and in exercise physiology. However, students are exposed to this concept from a different perspective in each of these three disciplines. Therefore, it is worthwhile to assist students in their understanding of the "big picture" when studying aerobic metabolism. The faculty team identified a set of core objectives common to courses in biology, chemistry, and exercise physiology. Instructional materials are developed that teach the core objectives in all courses described. In addition, objectives more closely related to each discipline are identified and included, as appropriate, in the instructional materials. The team expressed a desire to select a module that would place the student at the center of the activity. Exercise physiology is a field with which students are familiar on one level or another. However, as non-majors, students often struggle with the concepts of metabolism as they relate to biology, chemistry, and exercise physiology. This module is designed to assist students in developing a clearer understanding of the theory behind aerobic metabolism (presented during classroom periods), while at the same time, allowing each student to be an integral part of the study (completed during a laboratory or out of class period).
