Introduction Simulation and gamification are two popular educational tools utilized to enhance student learning and engagement. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating a hybrid cancer clinic simulation into the curricula for third-year pharmacy (P3) students. Methods This prospective, single-arm pilot study incorporated a mixed-method learning activity involving patient simulation and escape room elements. Two cancer clinic simulations were developed by faculty members. For each clinic, students were randomly divided into 6 groups and tasked with completing a series of Pharmacist Patient Care Process (PPCP) activities involving patient actors. The PPCP activities were interwoven with engaging puzzles and games to simulate an escape room. Student learning and retention was measured by pre- and post-simulation quizzes and course level exams. A perceptions survey was administered after each simulation activity. Results Thirty-six students participated in both cancer clinic simulations, with 100% completing all aspects of the study. Mean student quiz scores improved from 61.4% to 81.7% (p < 0.0001) and 52.6% to 81.8% (p < 0.0001) following the first and second simulations, respectively. Exam performance improved for 16 out of 19 exam questions, with a significant increase in 4 questions (p < 0.05). Students overwhelmingly agreed that the cancer clinic simulations 1) reinforced knowledge, 2) facilitated PPCP, 3) improved their ability to make chemotherapeutic recommendations, 4) enhanced problem-solving skills, and 5) encouraged collaboration. Conclusion This innovative hybrid simulation enhanced oncology-related knowledge and supported an interactive environment that improved student confidence and teamwork. Students enjoyed the simulations and recommended continuation for all future cohorts.

Purpose: An Integrative Student Learning (ISL) activity was developed with the intent to enhance the dynamic of student teamwork and enhance student learning by fostering critical-thinking skills, self-directed learning skills, and active learning. Case Study: The ISL activity consists of three portions: teambuilding, teamwork, and a facilitator driven "closing the loop" feedback discussion. For teambuilding, a set of clue sheets or manufacturer's drug containers were distributed among student pairs who applied their pharmaceutical knowledge to identify two more student pairs with similar clues or drugs, thus building a team of six. For teamwork, each team completed online exams, composed of integrated pharmaceutical science questions with clinical correlates, using only selected online library resources. For the feedback discussion, facilitators evaluated student impressions, opened a discussion about the ISL activity, and provided feedback to teams' impressions and questions. This study describes three different ISL activities developed and implemented over three days with first year pharmacy students. Facilitators' interactions with students and three surveys indicated a majority of students preferred ISL over traditional team activities and over 90% agreed ISL activities promoted active learning, critical-thinking, self-directed learning, teamwork, and student confidence in online library searches. Conclusions: The ISL activity has proven to be an effective learning activity that promotes teamwork and integration of didactic pharmaceutical sciences to enhance student learning of didactic materials and confidence in searching online library resources. It was found that all of this can be accomplished in a short amount of class time with a very reasonable amount of preparation.   Type: Case Study

This research is motivated by low student learning activity on Civics lesson. In order to increase studentlearning activities need a model that is cooperative learning model type two stay two stray in fourth gradestudents SD Negeri 007 Pusaran. It aims to know the improvement of learning achievement of Civics after theimplementation of learning model of cooperative learning type TSTS in fourth grade students of SD Negeri 007Pusaran, knowing the influence of learning motivation of Civics after the implementation of learning withcooperative learning model type TSTS in fourth grade students of SD Negeri 007 Pusaran; provides an overviewof appropriate learning methods in an effort to improve student learning achievement and make students becomeactive in teaching and learning activities. This research was conducted in September of odd semester 2016/2017with object of 24 students. The results concluded that: (1) cooperative learning method type TSTS can improvethe quality of learning Civics; (2) cooperative learning method of TSTS type has positive impact in improvingstudents 'learning achievement which is marked by the improvement of students' learning mastery in every cycle,that is cycle I (54.17%), cycle II (91.67%); 3) TSTS type cooperative learning method can make students feelthemselves getting attention and opportunity to express opinions, ideas, ideas, and questions; 4) students canwork independently or in groups, and be able to account for individual or group tasks; and 5) the application ofcooperative learning method type TSTS have positive influence, that is can improve student's learningmotivation.

The purpose of this research are: 1) to know the learning activity of learners mathematics which is taught by Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS), and 2) model to know the ability of problem solving of mathematics learners who taught by SSCS learning model in the class XI MIA MAN 1 Muara Labuh academic year 2016/2017. This research belongs to a kind of quasi-experimental research with randomized control group only design. In this study design, a group of subjects taken from a particular population were randomly assigned into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. After analyzing the data, it is known that the learning activity of the students after applying the SSCS learning model has improved towards the better from the first meeting to the fifth meeting, ie 35%, 45%, 55%, 68%, 77%. Based on the hypothesis test obtained ttable = 1.645 and tcount = 2.598 so obtained (2.598> 1.645) at 95% confidence interval. Because tcount > ttable then hypothesis in this research accepted. Thus, students 'math-problem-solving skills taught by SSCS learning models are higher than the students' uneducated mathematical problem-solving skills with SSCS learning modelsKeywords: Problem solving abilities, search, solve, sreate and share (SSCS) learning models

The purposes of this research are to increase the students asking activity and student learning outcomes in class V of MI Yusuf Abdussatar Kediri, totaling 23 people. Learning to apply the process skills approach, teaches students to discover and develop the facts by themselves. the concept of learning presenting, students' courage in ideas, opinions and questions, effort, activity and creativity in the learning process and the level of student attitudes that dominate in the learning process. This learning activity helps students to be more active in asking.This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles, consisting of the action planning stage, the stage of implementation of the action, observation, and the stage of evaluation and reflection. Students and teacher activity data derived from observations and interviews for the assessment process, while data on student learning outcomes obtained through tests given at the end of each cycle. Indicators of success of this study extend from the average value grade students can reach the KKM 65 and with a percentage of 85%. The results showed that the average value of students in cycle I and II increased from 72.70 into 82.43 with the difference in value of 9.73. While the percentage of students who earn a minimum value standard upward cycle I and II also increased from 73.91% to 86.95% by a margin of 13:04%. This means that action research is in compliance indicators to be achieved. The results showed that the application process can increase the skill of asking activity and science learning outcomes in science teaching class V.
