Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dissection Practices:
The reliance on traditional cadaver dissection is decreasing, with a shift towards alternative methods such as virtual dissections and digital simulations, reflected in the reduced frequency of studies focused solely on dissection. - Eponymous Terminology:
The usage of eponyms in anatomy education is becoming less favored as educators strive for clarity and inclusivity in anatomical terminology, leading to fewer papers addressing this topic. - Static Learning Environments:
Research on static, lecture-based learning environments is declining as there is a stronger emphasis on active, participatory learning strategies that engage students more effectively. - Focus on Basic Anatomy Without Contextual Application:
The emphasis on basic anatomical knowledge without integrating clinical or practical applications is diminishing, as the journal increasingly promotes studies that connect anatomy education to clinical practice and real-world scenarios. - Homogeneous Curriculum Models:
There is a noticeable decline in research advocating for one-size-fits-all curriculum models, with a growing preference for tailored approaches that consider diverse learner needs and educational contexts.
