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.

The effectiveness of case-based learning in health professional education. A BEME syste... - 0 views

  •  
    "Overwhelmingly, students enjoy CBL and think that it enhances their learning. The empirical data taken as a whole are inconclusive as to the effects on learning compared with other types of activity. Teachers enjoy CBL, partly because it engages, and is perceived to motivate, students. CBL seems to foster learning in small groups though whether this is the case delivery or the group learning effect is unclear."

How to Get the Most Out of Studying | Samford University | Birmingham, Alabama - 1 views

  •  
    Dr. Stephen Chew is a professor and chair of psychology at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. He is a cognitive psychologist with interests in teaching strategies, formative assessment, and cognition & instruction. I have included brief descriptions of his video series below: Video series: "How to study long and hard and still fail… or how to get the most out of studying" Video #1: "Beliefs that make you stupid" 1. Learning is fast. 2. Learning isolated facts (note cards). 3. Fixed mindset. 4. Good at multi-tasking (while studying, i.e. texting, computer breaks, games, etc.) Video #2: Examined a study looking at "levels of processing." Study examines shallow v. deep processing, intent v. incidential exposure, and strict memorization. Group with deep processing (regardless of intent v. incidential) had the highest recall. Shallow = memorization. Deep = understanding, comprehending, applying, visualizing Video #3: Four ideas to achieve deep processing: elaboration (how does this relate?), distinction (how is this similar/different?), personal (how does this relate to experience?), appropriate retrieval and application (how am I expected to use or apply this concept?). Extent of use of each principle depends on professor style! Video #4: Study strategies: Ask questions! (facts [ok], relationships, compare/contrast, apply in new situation, apply to personal experience, etc.). Concept maps (visual learners?), Retrieve info in way teach expects (2 parts: recall without notes, use information). Also discusses note-taking, good highlighting. Video #5: Don't panic/deny failure. Evaluate exam preparation (lecture, required readings, study technique, etc.), review exam with professor, review notes!, talk with professor, develop revised study plan.

An assessment of the influence of clinical demonstrations on the confidence of undergra... - 0 views

  •  
    Packer et al., published in the European Journal of Dental Education, evaluated the confidence level of 45 undergraduate dental students treating their first patient requiring removable partial dentures. 23 students were given demonstration prior to carrying out the treatment and the rest didn't see a demonstration. The demonstration group indicated via survey that the demonstration facilitated confident, communication skills, understanding and recall in the clinical situation. Furthermore, 67% of the group without demonstrations believe they would have benefited from the demonstrations. This study shows that demonstrations right before completing a task is effective in increasing confidence and possibly communication, understanding and recall.

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.

Review on the theory behind Problem-Based Learning - 1 views

  •  
    This review covers a number of the theories behind the use of PBL in the classroom. The authors extensively review these theories so you get a more detailed sense of the design behind PBL rather than superficial explanations.

Learning Styles Impact the Efficacy of Demonstrations used to Increase Understanding of... - 0 views

  •  
    Venneman et al., published in the Eurpean Journal of Social Sciences, evaluated the effect of demonstrations on students with different learning preferences (visual, auditory, read/write and kinesthetic). After evaluating pre-post demonstration examinations, all groups except auditory learners significantly improved after watching the demonstrations. This study showed that demonstrations does not work on everyone, especially auditory learners.

Advancing the pharmacy practice model in a community teaching hospital by expanding stu... - 0 views

  •  
    While this article does not relate directly to being a preceptor, it describes the success of a model of experiential learning within pharmacy- layered learner model. This model mirrors the medical team model with a pharmacy "attending" down to pharmacy students. It provides a way to get students more involved in direct patient care during your rotation. In the study, a community hospital was able to accept more students with this model and assign a small group of patients to each. Students were able to serve as pharmacist extenders by obtaining medication histories and providing patient education. This model allowed an expansion of comprehensive pharmacy services to numerous patients that would not have been otherwise reached. There was an improvement in HCAHPS scores within the "communication of medication" domain, an increase in patient interventions, and allowed for an expansion of the discharge prescription program. By utilizing the concepts of more direct patient care, preceptors are able to provide valuable opportunities to students and improve patient care.

    This article is one that relates case based teaching specifically to the pharmacy curriculum. The article and methods it describes were performed in a pharmacy school in Portugal, but I believe the principles can be applied universally.

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
