社区大学教授的解剖学和生理学课程倾向于将实验室时间主要集中在解剖学上，而不是生理学上。然而，研究表明，当教师使用主动学习方法(如在实验室环境中)，让学生参与自己的学习时，学生会有更好的结果，例如更高的考试成绩和更好的材料记忆。为了给社区大学生提供主动学习生理学的机会，我们开发了两个实验室练习，让学生参与到心脏和骨骼肌生理学中来。我们利用低成本的SpikerBox设备来测量心脏(心电)和骨骼肌(肌电)收缩时的电活动。在密歇根州东南部的两所社区学院的解剖学和生理学课程中采用了实验室活动。试验期为2小时，其中包括20分钟的幻灯片演示，内容包括关于该主题的背景材料和实验，以考察环境变量对神经系统控制心肌和骨骼肌收缩的影响。学生们被要求提供假设和提出的机制，完成一个结果部分，并根据他们的结果为实验提供结论。我们的实验室练习提高了学生的生理学学习和科学方法知识，受到了注册解剖学和生理学的社区学院学生的好评。我们的结果表明，使用SpikerBox提供心脏和骨骼肌生理学概念是将生理学活动整合到解剖学和生理学课程中的一种低成本和有效的方法。
Anatomy and Physiology courses taught at community colleges tend to focus laboratory hours primarily on anatomy as opposed to physiology. However, research demonstrates that, when instructors utilize active learning approaches (such as in laboratory settings) where students participate in their own learning, students have improved outcomes, such as higher test scores and better retention of material. To provide community college students with opportunities for active learning in physiology, we developed two laboratory exercises to engage students in cardiac and skeletal muscle physiology. We utilized low-cost SpikerBox devices to measure electrical activity during cardiac (electrocardiogram) and skeletal muscle (electromyogram) contraction. Laboratory activities were employed in Anatomy and Physiology courses at two community colleges in southeast Michigan. A 2-h laboratory period was structured with a 20-min slide presentation covering background material on the subject and experiments to examine the effects of environmental variables on nervous system control of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction. Students were asked to provide hypotheses and proposed mechanisms, complete a results section, and provide conclusions for the experiments based on their results. Our laboratory exercises improved student learning in physiology and knowledge of the scientific method and were well-received by community college students enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology. Our results demonstrate that the use of a SpikerBox for cardiac and skeletal muscle physiology concepts is a low-cost and effective approach to integrate physiology activities into an Anatomy and Physiology course.
