"Educational practice does not, for the most part, rely on research findings. Instead, there's a preference for relying on our intuitions about what's best for learning. But relying on intuition may be a bad idea for teachers and learners alike."
Yana Weinstein & Megan Sumeracki in Understanding How We Learn: A Visual Guide
1 | Regulation of Red Blood Cell Shape 4 minutes
Recent evidence points to a myosin-actin interaction in the cytoskeleton connected to the plasma membrane as a key mechanism for regulating RBC deformability. Thus that old myosin-actin attraction learned while exploring muscle contraction accomplishes important tasks in other parts of the body, too!
Healthy red blood cells owe their shape to muscle-like structures (brief synopsis) Myosin IIA interacts with the spectrin-actin membrane skeleton to control red blood cell membrane curvature and deformability (research article)2 | Understanding How We Learn: A Visual Guide 23 minutes
Dr. Yana Weinstein and Dr. Megan Sumeracki join Kevin for an informative chat about their new book Understanding How We Learn: A Visual Guide. These learning scientists explain how A&P professors can use the six strategies for learning in their courses to help students learn.
