Article Explains The Conceptual Understanding Of Homeostasis
Article Review Assignment
For this assignment, you are to find a primary research article on a biological topic of interest and write a summary of the article. Some questions that you may want to answer / consider when reading your article are
1) What question / topic is addressed by this research? Why is this topic important?
2) What specific hypothesis(es) was investigating in this study?
3) How was the study set up and performed?
4) What data and results were collected? How did they present this data in the article?
5) Explain if the results support the hypothesis or not and why
6) Did the authors provide any alternative explanations for the results
7) What further research should be conducted based on the findings of this study
After you have read your article and know its conclusions, find 2 other articles that agree with these findings (primary or secondary research articles) and cite them with a brief summary of their findings.
The article explains the conceptual understanding of homeostasis. The hypothesis in this article is that homeostasis is a complex topic to understand since it is both abstract and tangible. Therefore, it is essential to get the correct perception of the issue so that it becomes easy for the students to understand and diagnose the human body using different physiological mechanisms. The research defined eight different characteristics to enhance students’ ability to get a clear theoretical understanding of homeostasis. The features were “process dynamics, physiological balance, control and regulation, feedback mechanism, environments, the dependency between events within a system or a process, multisystem, and levels of the organization” (Zion & Klein, 2015). They used 93 biology students in the 12th grade to study the features. They then analyzed the students. They determined that most students had a correct scientific view of homeostasis. There were few errors. They suggested the scientific principle should be divided into single features to help both students and teachers understand the concept of homeostasis. Further research should then be conducted to determine the effects ...
