SATL based lesson for teaching metabolism in biochemistry

The implementation of teaching through SATL method is being suggested to be preferred to discuss the content of metabolism in an effective and meaningful way. It provides a better understanding of the metabolic reactions, their importance in the regulation of body’s function and in understanding the associated diseases of improper metabolic reaction. This teaching technique will open new thinking approach and develop interest in students rather being getting confused and wary of learning. Teaching through connectivity will present the basic concepts in a cognitive way and students will be able to correlate it to the issues and clarify them at a glance

Teaching Undergraduate Students through Connectivity: Part 2

Physical Chemistry is one of the branches of Chemistry. Its quality teaching at undergraduate level is an issue of prime concern. Due to key involvement of mathematics and lack of extensive familiarity with it, students often consider Physical Chemistry the most difficult one. It is now the great responsibility of teachers to avoid the old practices of delivering isolated physical chemistry lectures that do not provide the complete picture of any phenomenon that is discussed in the class room. The possible connections of specified topic with other parameters are essential for a deep learning exercise. Therefore students cannot have a limited approach towards the topic. In this context teachers need to prepare and deliver their lectures in a systemic way with the involvement of students in the topic and also with the help of connectivity diagrams, so that students can enhance their skills towards determining the connections of their own between different phenomena
