Old habits die hard? How to challenge students and professors to rethink the teaching and learning processes in biophysics using escape room-based games

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Biophysics classes provide essential knowledge to understand physiology and pathology, which are central to many clinical conditions. However, the basic sciences seem far from relevant to students' future practice, and they may struggle to see their relevance. To increase student engagement, we applied strategies based on escape room activities to bring biophysics closer to situations that professionals will encounter in their clinical practices.
