Abstract

In this article, we introduce the application of SATL in the subject of medical biochemistry. The strategy of this method is based on the collection, organization, and presentation of the map of concepts through the interactive system in the module of which the relations between the concepts and issues will be clarified. The main structural element of the SATL is the systemic diagram which bears all the attributes of a closed concept map. The systemic diagrams are created on the basis of the combination of the concepts that students already have and what they acquire through the study of the modules. The construction of systemic diagram helps students to understand the conceptual framework of the subject. Through the application of systemic methodology, students will study not only concepts, principles, and various metabolic procedures that occur in the organism they will also understand the vital role of biochemistry in medicine and how biochemistry principles are applied in everyday professional practices.
