以行动为导向的教学模式在兽医药剂学实验教学中的应用

起源于德国双元制教学模式的行动导向教学法,要求学生在学习过程中心、脑以及手共用,是基于职业导向的一种教学方法,能够有效提升学生自身技能。在采用行为导向教学方法的过程中,要求学生广泛参与其中,而教学引导是由教师以及学生共同决定的。目前,在全球职业教育领域之中,行为导向教学模式的应用越来越广泛,同时也是非常先进的一种教学模式。

Foundation degree learning: an educational journey of personal development

The foundation degree is an intermediate-level qualification designed to widen participation in higher education while providing work-related skills and knowledge. It has a vocational focus and a pedagogic approach that integrates academic and work-based learning. Research into opportunities and the process of learning within foundation degrees is limited, particularly that which looks in depth at personal development occurring within these courses. This study contributes to the literature in this area, reporting on the results of a case study of the foundation degree in medicines management (University of Portsmouth). A key finding of this work was that knowledge was gained within a community of practice, and led to students’ development as individuals. Motivation, learning to learn and guidance and feedback, alongside peer learning within the course, were central aspects of this process. The learning and personal development taking place resulted in increased awareness, confidence and empowerment in students, which was reported to influence their work and personal lives. However, the development of specialist work-related skills and knowledge was found to be limited, questioning the fitness for purpose of the course researched. While key aspects of the subject investigated have been described in this work, further research is needed to understand this complex phenomenon.     

Gamification of a Mobile Applications Lecture in a Pharmacy Course

Abstract

This report describes a librarian’s development of an interactive and competitive trivia game using Poll Everywhere, an audience response system software. The trivia game was implemented during a live lecture session on drug information mobile applications taught to first-year pharmacy students. To add a fun and engaging reference for students, the librarian decided to model the game after HQ, a free trivia gaming app. Development of the session, student response, changes to future iterations, and lessons learned by the librarian are described.     

Development of Targeted Online Modules for Recurring Reference Questions

When students are given assignments with specific information needs, they may turn to the library for help. The UNC Health Sciences Library developed three short online modules to teach first-year pharmacy students how to find early/animal studies, mechanism of action information, and specific study types in an effort to lessen demand on the reference desk. The modules filled two goals: to free up time that had been spent on three common low-level questions and to provide a pedagogically sound online tool to teach students how to find answers to these three questions. The modules were created using Adobe Captivate. Developing and promoting the modules took three hours of the pharmacy librarian's time compared with nearly 23 hours spent answering individual questions via e-mail, in consultations, and at the reference desk before the modules were introduced. After introducing the modules, only one student asked for help from the library compared to more than 60 who viewed the online modules at least once.     

Doing Without: Serving Allied Health Programs at Universities Without Medical Schools

This article compares libraries in the United States that serve allied health programs at universities without medical schools. Although these university libraries all serve a similar array of health sciences programs, the organization of their library services differ dramatically. There is also little similarity in their collections, particularly in their choice of indexing and abstracting databases. Yet librarians serving as liaisons to allied health programs at universities without medical schools face comparable challenges in meeting the needs of their users. All reported concerns about gaps in their collections and felt hard pressed to provide optimal library service.     

我国药学学科科研竞争力评价研究

科研竞争力是指在竞争中获取资源的能力,影响高校的整体水平。对药学学科的科研竞争力进行评价,有助于了解我国药学学科的科研水平,诊断药学学科在科研中存在的问题,从而提高药学学科的整体科研能力。文章基于我国159所高校的调研数据,通过对初设指标进行系统聚类和主成分分析,建立高校药学科研竞争力评价模型。然后利用建立的模型,对全国拥有药学学科硕士点的高校进行评价和排名。最终发现,北京协和医学院、中国科学院大学、中国药科大学、北京大学、沈阳药科大学在药学这一学科上拥有较强的科研竞争力。
