 A Learner-Centered Approach
to the Study of A&P

When Erin Amerman decided to write her own textbook, her mission was clear: to write a textbook that her
students could read and learn from; a book that would speak to the way today’s diverse students learn and
study. With the overwhelmingly positive response to the first edition, it was clear that Amerman’s approach
resonated with both instructors and students. They singled out three aspects of Amerman’s approach that were
particularly effective:

One-concept-at-a-time art
Informed by the latest research on cognitive science, Amerman reduces cognitive load by chunking
information and visually unpacking art one-concept-at-a-time. She then pulls all the information
together in Big Picture figures that help students see how the distinct parts work as a whole.

Coaching throughout the book

Amerman begins with a unique Module 1.1 How to Succeed in Your Anatomy and
Physiology Course. This first module sets the stage for the tone and hand-holding approach
found in the rest of the book. Concept Boosts provide just-in-time coaching on tough-to-
understand concepts. Core Principles and Flashbacks reinforce recurring principles and
anticipate students’ knowledge gaps.
Amerman’s figures and coaching come to life via author-narrated Big Picture Animations and
Concept Boost Video Tutors. The companion Active-Learning Workbook helps students
actively read and engage with the chapter as they read it.

Application and Critical Thinking

Amerman provides ample opportunities for students to practice and develop critical thinking skills
with Apply What You Learned real-world scenario questions that end each module. Chapter
running case studies and other higher-level application questions are available in Mastering A&P.

for the rigor of A&P?

Module 1.1 How to Succeed in A&P Flashback

Amerman includes a special section, “How to Flashback questions encourage students to
Succeed in A&P,” in Chapter 1, with a discussion think about previously learned concepts they
about how to manage time, how to take notes, will need to apply in order to understand
how to study for an A&P exam, and how to use upcoming discussions.
the textbook, the companion Active-Learning
Workbook, and online tools.

Core Principles
In Chapter 1, Amerman introduces four core principles and then highlights them throughout the textbook
to remind students of the overall theme of human anatomy and physiology—homeostasis—and show how
the core principles revolve around maintaining it.

Concept Boosts
In her classroom, Amerman gives her students extra
coaching in advance of those tough-to-understand
concepts, right when they need it, and she has built
that same strategy into her textbook. She anticipates
where students will need extra help and then provides
just-in-time coaching via Concept Boosts. Each
Concept Boost focuses on tough-to-understand or
tricky concepts.

textbook and apply the concepts?

Active-Learning Workbook
This workbook written by Amerman
helps engage the kinesthetic learner with
labeling, drawing, and build-your-own-
summary-table exercises that students
can complete as they read the textbook.
Available in the Study Area of Mastering
A&P and as editable Word files in the
Instructor Resources in Mastering A&P.

Apply What You Learned

Apply What You Learned questions at
the end of each module ask students to
think critically and apply what they’ve
just learned to a real-world scenario.
Copyright © 2018. Pearson Education, Limited. All rights reserved.

Chapter Running Case Studies

Chapter running case studies with assessments challenge students to apply their knowledge
of key A&P concepts to a real-world clinical scenario, while allowing instructors to “flip” the
classroom and incorporate critical thinking and/or group activities. These cases can be found in
the Instructor’s Guide and are also assignable in MasteringA&P.
