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."

Matching Learning Styles and Learning Outcomes - AJPE - 1 views

    • Stuart T. Haines
       
      This research attempted to determine whether a learning style "match" between students and preceptors lead to improved learning outcomes (e.g. evaluation of student or preceptor performance).  Most students and preceptors were "assimilators" (aka "thinkers") based on the PILS questionnaire.  However, "matching" learning styles of preceptors and students didn't improve learning outcomes.

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.

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.

Comparison of Learning Styles of Pharmacy Faculty and Students - AJPE - 1 views

    • Stuart T. Haines
       
      The authors and researchers compare the dominant typologies of student pharmacists and faculty using the Pharmacists' Inventory of Learning Styles (PILS).  Approximately 300 student pharmacists and 60 faculty members at a college of pharmacy were enrolled and their dominant PILS type determined.  Their analysis compares not only students to faculty, but also secondary outcomes, including year of school and gender.  This study serves to indicate that the PILS has been used to evaluate pharmacist learning styles and its application to real-world practice.
