Pharmacists' Inventory of Learning Styles - 1 views

    • Stuart T. Haines
       
      The authors and researchers aim to develop and establish a learning style tool specific to pharmacy, as no previous tool exists.  The foundation is derived from other well-known learning theories, including Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) and the Canfield Learning Style.  Through the use of focus groups, the PILS was derived and assessed by the developers. This tool serves as the only pharmacy-specific tool identified through a literature search.

Classroom demonstrations: Learning tools or entertainment? - 0 views

  •  
    The study shows that the level of interaction of a demonstration can range from passive (more entertainment purposes) to engaged understanding. The greater the engagement, the better the learning. Predicting and discussing a demonstration resulted in better retention (correct prediction and explanation of the same demo on a test) than simply observing it.

Smart Learning Environments | Full text | The effectiveness of digital storytelling in ... - 0 views

  • It can be a helpful educational tool, as it provides a vehicle for combining digital media with innovative teaching and learning practices. Apart from building on learners’ technology skills, digital storytelling encourages additional educational outcomes (Dakich [2008]). It enhances learners’ motivation, and helps teachers in building constructivist learning environments that encourage creative problem solving based on collaboration and peer-to-peer communication. In addition, digital storytelling can be used to facilitate integrated approaches to curriculum development, and engage learners in higher order thinking and deep learning

Storytelling as a Teaching Tool - 1 views

  •  
    I had to request the item from the library, but they were able to provide me a PDF (that I can't include here). This article describes the use of stories and their benefits in teaching nursing students. I felt that it was applicable as well to other medical professions. The author even provides examples of her stories that she commonly uses and the effects they have had on her students.
