Gastrointestinal Physiology

We developed four innovative, creative, and fun educational tools to promote active learning, enhance problem-solving skills, and encourage small group discussion. Furthermore, the tools encourage deductive reasoning and critical thinking rather than passive memorization of material. The tools include crossword puzzles, hidden messages, word scrambles, and word searches. These tools were developed using two computer programs: the Crossword Construction Kit and The New Puzzle Factory. Instructors are encouraged to optimize the value of the tools by using the additional options presented at the end of each of the puzzles. The additional options encourage students to become active learners by creating their own tools. Although the principles of these four tools can be adapted to many disciplines, these specific games focused on gastrointestinal physiology. Our goal was to create tools that can be used either inside or outside the classroom to complement and enhance the lecture.

Character Reading

A strong correlation exists between reading ability and writing ability. Reading<br />is the window of the world. To produce quality writing then requires the process of<br />internalization of knowledge by reading. Reading can build a person’s character,<br />ranging from the appearance of taste, then there is interest, created habits, until<br />finally formed the character of reading. Subsequently writing becomes a process of<br />externalization of knowledge, from what is thought then poured it into writing. Writing<br />media can be either printed documents or through online documents. Thus, writing is<br />essentially a process of thinking. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are the<br />outputs of competence that a person must have after he reads.<br />Keywords: reading, writing, character, reading culture,critical thinking
