Physiology for the Laboratory Classic Reprint by Bertha Millard Brown Book PDF Summary
Excerpt from Physiology for the Laboratory The ideal way to teach physiology, of course, would be to give the specimen to the student and expect him to discover for himself the structure and function of all the parts. This was Agassiz's method. But this is hardly practicable to - day. With so much to teach and so short a time to do it, we must necessarily help the student. We may call his attention to the important things to be seen and then make sure that he has found them correctly. With a large class, the simplest way to call attention to the main points is by clear and well-written directions to be used in the laboratory. We can only be sure that each one finds the parts when he shows them to us, or we exam ine his carefully labeled drawings. The directions should not be too full. They should simply point the way and not describe the parts. That is the work of the student. If the directions are too full, or the ordinary textbook is used in the laboratory, the beginner is tempted to study the text-book and disregard the specimen. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of gaining the first impressions from the Specimens. This has already been too long neglected in the teaching of physiology. We must also bear in mind that we are not teaching this subject merely for the sake of anatomy and physiology as sciences, but for the sake of hygiene and better ways of living.
