Physiology faculty members at a wide range of institutions (2-yr colleges to medical schools) were surveyed to determine what core principles of physiology they want their students to understand. From the results of the first survey, 15 core principles were described. In a second survey, respondents were asked to rank order these 15 core principles and, independently, to identify the three most important for their students to understand. The five most important core principles were "cell membrane," "homeostasis," "cell-to-cell communications," "interdependence," and "flow down gradients." We then "unpacked" the flow down gradients core principle into the component ideas of which it is comprised. This unpacking was sent to respondents who were asked to identify the importance of each of the component ideas. Respondents strongly agreed with the importance of the component ideas we had identified. We will be using the responses to our surveys as we begin the development of a conceptual assessment of physiology instrument (i.e., a concept inventory).
这项研究调查了不同机构（2 年制学院到医学院）的生理学教师，以确定他们希望学生理解哪些生理学核心原则。根据首次调查的结果，描述了 15 个核心原则。在第二次调查中，要求受访者对这 15 个核心原则进行排序，并独立确定对学生最重要的三个原则。最重要的五个核心原则是“细胞膜”、“稳态”、“细胞间通讯”、“相互依存”和“顺着梯度流动”。然后，我们将“顺着梯度流动”核心原则分解为其组成部分的想法。我们将这个分解发送给受访者，要求他们确定每个组成部分想法的重要性。受访者强烈认同我们确定的组成部分想法的重要性。在开始开发生理学概念评估工具（即概念清单）时，我们将使用调查的反馈。
