To disrupt the traditional compartmentalized learning of nutrition functions, a proposition for integrative teaching at undergraduate level
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A proposal for teaching of human physiology at the undergraduate level in a science faculty outlines a pedagogical progression centered on cellular requirements for nutrients and oxygen. Rather than being taught independently, the three nutrition functions, circulation, respiration, and digestion, are interrelated and functional similarities are highlighted. The core concepts of physiology are thus more integrated at the organism level, with an emphasis on common mechanisms rather than specific structures.
