ERIC - Education Resources Information Center - 2 views

  •  
    ERIC is the PubMed of education, yet can be hard to search. A trick I was taught was to first use the Thesaurus feature to find appropriate search terms. I usually start with "medical education" as shown. Once you then click "search", you will be brought to more links that you can focus or explore - sort of like MESH terms (but they function differently). Over time you will learn what "terms" are tagged to articles and can search within those tags only. This will help eliminate research papers that may not interest you (say, K-12 education).

The specific link cited above goes to the section of Edutopia focused on instructional technology in the classroom. In addition to providing an overview of how technology may be incorporated into education, this website provides a history of advances in the field, video commentary from educational experts, and research/best practices.

Pharmacy Education - 2 views

  •  
    This book was actually given to me last year and I have found it extremely helpful for many topics. I was able to find the chapter on teaching in large classes online - the link provided. This chapter is nice in that it explains how to implement different active learning strategies into a classroom. This book breaks down strategies into low-, medium-, and high-threshold activities. Additionally, it provides techniques for non technology-enhanced classrooms as well as those with more technical capabilities. From the Book: Pharmacy Education: What Matters in Learning and Teaching is an essential resource for any pharmacy faculty member. More than a narration of the philosophical aspects of teaching and personal perspectives on life as a faculty member, it explores 'what matters", "why it matters", and "how to apply" the matter to teaching, learning, and assessment in pharmacy education.

ACCREDITATION STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM IN PHARMACY LEADING... - 1 views

  •  
    This document written by ACPE provides guidelines for the development and oversight of pharmacy education programs. The most recent revision of standards occurred in 2007, and are set to be reviewed in the 2013-2014 academic year. There are six categories of standards which provide the institution, student, faculty member, and staff guidelines for successful administration of a Doctor of Pharmacy program. The standard of mission, planning, and evaluation ensures that a school has mission and goals relevant to the vision of pharmacy practice to serve the needs of society. The standard of organization and administration includes recommendations for the internal and external functions of the school to be harmonious with their mission and goals. The standards for curriculum ensure that a thorough foundation of coursework is provided for a student to "contribute to the profession of pharmacy thoughout their career". The standards for students ensures that the school has adequate resources to support their education, where as standards for faculty and staff ensure the school has fair and equitable resources to attract and retain faculty. The standards for facilities and resources ensures an appropriate environment for a high quality education is offered.

Problem-based learning versus lecture-based learning in a course of basic pharmacology:... - 0 views

      although there was not an overall statistical difference in the results between PBL and LBL, there may be a deeper understanding in the pbl group
  • Regarding the main questions of the study that have been formulated above, two findings seem to be most important: Firstly, our study has shown, that it is in fact practically possible to implement PBL as an educational strategy under the conditions of a large German medical school. Secondly, the study provided sound evidence that the PBL approach does not lead to disadvantages concerning students' factual knowledge as measured by a combination of multiple-choice and short-essay questions. The results of our study therefore support earlier findings2[3]–4 and constitute another link in the chain of evidence indicating that PBL is equipotent to LBL as far as students' factual knowledge is concerned.Further conclusions are more difficult to draw: The fact that the PBL students achieved slightly better results in the category of short-essay questions might indicate, that an examination testing more complex levels of knowledge (i.e. on the comprehension or analysis level), is more appropriate for testing the outcome of PBL in terms of factual knowledge than multiple-choice questions. An intra-group comparison of the two categories of questions further supported this hypothesis, revealing that students who had undergone the lecture-based course scored significantly lower in the short-essay part, whereas their PBL counterparts reached similar results in both categories of questions. It is important to stress though, that the direct comparison of the short-essay results in both groups only showed marginal results. Also, the multiple-choice questions we used in our study were not intended to assess a more complex, i.e. comprehension or analysis level of knowledge. Hence, if there is a difference, it is not necessarily a difference between multiple-choice and short-essay questions, but between questions addressing different levels of knowledge.
