| Objectives: Evaluate preferences of a student cohort prior to exposure to a professional pharmacy program. Methods: A survey assessing learning and lecturing preferences was developed and tested. The survey was administered to an incoming class of students within the first week of their pharmacy program. Survey items evaluated lecturing preferences, including type of lecture, as well as presentation and assessment styles. Student preference for learning activities/methods, including non-lecture activities and methods to receive additional assistance were assessed. Results: Statistical tests provided descriptive cohort information. Practice problems and lecture were preferred activities, active and passive lecturing were equally desirable, visual and kinetic were favored learning methods and multiple choice and short answer questions were perceived as the best assessments. Other students were the preferred source of assistance and office visits and e-mail were favored to get questions answered. Implications: Faculty awareness of learning and lecturing preferences promotes tailoring of classroom-based strategies. |
