‘The brain needs nutrition’: pupils’ connections between organizational levels

Abstract: Previous research suggests that connecting organizational levels of biological systems is challenging forpupils. In the present study we investigated 122 pupils’ written responses to a question in a national biologytest concerning how nutrient molecules are adsorbed by the small intestine and transported to thebrain. We aimed to investigate what awareness the pupils have of the connection between the digestiveand circulatory systems. We mapped the pupil’s expressed knowledge by using content analysis whichwas … Show more

“…In learning about digestion and nutrient uptake, a common challenge is to make connections between processes taking place at different levels of organization (e.g. Snapir et al, 2017;Jahic Pettersson, Tibell & Löfgren, 2021;Knippels, 2002;van Mil, Postma, Boerwinkel, Klaassen & Waarlo, 2016;Meijer, 2011). Nutrient uptake is a process that spans at several different organizational levels (macro-, micro-, mesoand submicro level).…”

“…Learning about the human body requires connections between structures and processes that extend from the molecular submicro level to the macro level in several steps in between (Jahic Pettersson, Tibell, Löfgren, 2021;Meijer, Bulte, & Pilot, 2013). The purpose of the animation is to highlight the connections between different levels or organization.…”
