STEM Engaging Teaching and Learning for the Heart in Bioscience Education

Marina Minoli

Abstract

This research and educational path was realized to guide students and science teachers in the study of the anatomy and the physiology of the cardiovascular system in engaging, collaborative and innovative way, activating a proposal aimed at overcoming a mnemonic-notional learning.  STEM project innovative because it combining tradition and modernity in a balanced way, using digital tools and international scientific sites. Many questions about the heart were proposed to create a “Digital Heart Debate” between students and between groups of teachers with interdisciplinary approaches using chemical equation to interpret the excitability of cardiac cells, a view of work with contaminations between different disciplines and methodological strategies to promote the development of skills in integrating, comparing, identifying relationship between basic principles of the chemical, physical and biological sciences. Considering that at different levels of educational system the learning of the anatomy and the physiology fascinate greatly, it proved very effective to create and to realize an interactive and multidisciplinary learning by doing and coworking itinerary, to promote an innovative and dynamic vision of the human body in which the heart can be studied in the structural and functional complexity and in the interrelationships with other systems, to activate also original orientation teaching in Health Education. Innovative STEM and IBSE itinerary also with the historical dimension of science which is fundamental to know the steps with science proceeds, revisiting the important discoveries useful to understand the physiology of the heart. One important objective in this future research about educational activity for students and for teachers will be to promote the awareness that the life cannot be explained only at the molecular and genetic level, the biological systems should be studied as complex systems that derive from dynamic interactions that operate in a coordinated manner.
