“…Therefore, while only identifying BIOL 2222 for inclusion in our admission policy, there is value to monitoring success in the prerequisite course BIOL 2221. In agreement with previous research examining anatomy and physiology courses as predictors of success among nursing and health-science majors (18), the results of this investigation found BIOL 2222 as significantly related to performance in the required major courses at KSU. The results of this investigation are also in agreement with previous research (7), where the investigators found performance in a biology course significantly related to performance in an Exercise Physiology course.…”

Student success is an important focus within higher education as it relates to retention, progression, and graduation rates. Limited research exists examining the predictors of success within an undergraduate Exercise Science program. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the viability of an admission policy implemented within an undergraduate Exercise Science program as a method of predicting student success. Data from 652 students from 2012 through 2018 were collected from the University’s Enterprise Information Management system. Regression analysis indicated ES 2100, an introductory Exercise Science course, was the best predictor of student performance in required major courses. Furthermore, the results indicated performance in general education courses, including English Composition II, Precalculus, General Chemistry II Laboratory, Human Anatomy and Physiology II, and General Psychology were also significantly related to performance in the required major courses, after controlling for performance in other courses. The results of the investigation provide insight regarding future success within required major courses in the program. This knowledge can be valuable when examining methods to improve retention of students, progression, minimizing repeat attempts at courses, and improving graduation rates. In conclusion, the identification of these courses, related to student success, may provide valuable insight for other Exercise Science-related programs that are considering implementing a program admission policy.

A didactic student workbook has been used to teach human anatomy and physiology. The didactic workbook has significantly reduced the disparity between teaching materials and students. It accommodated all student learning styles, integrated with asma al-husna (the best names are based on the characteristics of God). This workbook also integrates contemplative exercises. The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning outcomes and responses of students after utilizing the didactic workbook in their learning process. The study used a quasi-experimental methodology with a pre-test-post-test control group design. It involved 31 biology education students from UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. The experimental group was given homework assignments to complete in the didactic workbook, whereas the control group was given the task of summarising and answer the questions in the textbook. Both groups used the discussion method during in-class learning. Essay tests and students response questionnaires were used to collect data. The t-test was used to compare the N-gain of learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. Descriptive analyses were conducted to examine student responses. The didactic workbook was significantly effective (p<0.05) in improving learning outcomes compared to the control class. The didactic student workbook was also responded to very positively by students. These findings indicate that a didactic student workbook has the potential to improve learning outcomes and interest in the learning of biology.
