Objective: Pharmaceutical calculations are an essential aspect of learning for pharmacy students in order to avoid drug dose errors and maintain patient safety in future practice. Learning styles influence how lecturers approach the teaching-learning process. So far no specific learning preference is believed to be most appropriate for the pharmacy curricular; however certain learning styles are favoured by students as they improve their understanding of course material, knowledge and performance. Methods: 148Master of pharmacy participants from the second and third year were given a questionnaire to complete during a compulsory Individual Readiness Assurance Test session. Participants were restricted to just one option. Results: Workshops with a tutor was the most selected (36%) followed by 25% of participants favouring formative assessments, 28% selected workbooks alone, 37% for whole-class lecturers and videos option was the least selected. Reasons for the most and least preferred learning styles were highlighted and separated into advantages and disadvantages using themes. In the knowledge test; 92% of participants selected “unsure” or “didn’t know” the answer, 29% had a partially correct answer and 19% selected incorrect answers. The overall order of ranking arose in regards to the most beneficial learning style which enhances performance. The responses revealed a variety of advantages and disadvantages which were reflected between year groups and similar to views obtained from recent literature. Students reflected a lack of understanding on extemporaneous preparation (EPs) terms used in pharmaceutical compounding practices, thus the university should consider addressing the lack of awareness and consider the best teaching-learning style in doing so. Conclusion: Overall the findings suggested that the sample students have similar views on the learning styles used to deliver pharmaceutical calculations on their academic performance to that expressed by the authors from recent published literature.

The Impact

AbstractLearning style is a crucial element in the academic life of students. It plays a fundamental role in the selection of a suitable teaching method of instruction. The aim of this research paper is the study of the perception of the hybrid learning and students’ learning style. In addition, another objective of the study is to analyze the perception of the hybrid learning in accordance with the learning style. This paper employs quantitative research and the descriptive and comparative methods. The study sample consists of 89 Albanian university students. Data analysis was conducted through SPSS 20 and JASP-0.8.1.2. The statistical analyses utilized in this paper are distribution tables, crossed tabulation, student test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Bayesian Independent Samples T-Test, and One - Way ANOVA. The conclusion of the data analysis shows that most students used the visual learning style in order to study. Students have a positive perception of the hybrid learning. There exists an insignificant statistical correlation between learning styles and the perception of the hybrid learning. The area of study has an impact on the components of the hybrid learning.

Abstract Purpose To assess pharmacy technician learning preferences using the VARK tool and through self-identification. Methods The VARK (visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic) questionnaire was incorporated into a larger survey, which was distributed during live staff meetings and a continuing education session held by the Ohio Pharmacists Association attended by 204 pharmacy technicians across various practice settings. Results A 90% response rate was achieved. Most respondents (78.8%) self-identified a single predominant learning preference, with 60.3% indicating a preference for kinesthetic learning methods. In contrast, after assessment with the VARK questionnaire 37.9% of survey participants were categorized as having a quadmodal learning style incorporating all VARK modalities. With regard to the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam, a large majority of participants (96.2% of those providing a response) indicated that they had taken the exam in the past, with 17 participants (9.3% of those providing a response) indicating more than 1 attempt to pass the exam. Furthermore, experiential (on-the-job) training was identified by a large majority of survey respondents (79.3%) as the preferred way to learn new information. Conclusion Learning preferences of pharmacy technicians vary amongst individuals, with many found to have multiple learning preferences through VARK questionnaire assessment. Incorporating experiential training and establishing learning preferences of pharmacy technicians may aid in development of accredited training programs that cater to the needs of pharmacy technicians.

Background: Several studies reported that every individual learner has its own different style of learning. All learners have their own preferences for the ways in which they receive information for studying.Aims and Objective: In order to determine whether a particular teaching method provided by each instructor might enhance learner of anti-aging and regenerative medicine satisfaction with the learning process, a well-known learning preferences survey which are linked to sensory modalities of learners was distributed to anti-aging and regenerative science students at School of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mae Fah Luang University, Bangkok, Thailand.Materials and Methods: The applied preferred learning style survey named VARK was applied to identify student’s preferences for particular learning modes of information presentation. This study thus aimed to determine the preferred learning style and measure the distribution of learning preference mean scores of the anti-aging and regenerative science learners using 53 participants. The VARK questionnaire divided all learners into five groups, i.e., visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal learners, respectively.Results: We found that the unimodality preference was 35.10% while the multimodality was 64.9%. Among the learners who preferred only one mode of information presentation, there were 8.25% of visual, 34.26% of aural, 22.44 % of read/write learners, and 35.05% of kinesthetic, respectively. Anti-aging and regenerative science learners preferred kinesthetic learning at a higher percentage than other modes. However, some learners preferred multiple modes including 32.45% of bimodal, 23.84% of trimodal, and 8.61% of quadmodal, respectively. Knowing the anti-aging and regenerative science learners preferred learning modes can help to provide instruction tailored to the learner’s individual preferences, to overcome the predisposition to treat all anti-aging and regenerative science learners in a similar way, to motivate instructors to move from their preferred mode(s) to using others, and to develop appropriate learning approaches.Conclusion: The result of this study would explore opportunities for anti-aging and regenerative science instructors to make the educational experience more productive.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(6) 2018 14-19

Physiotherapy Students

Physiotherapy students have wide range of diversity in their learning preferences therefore this has been always a challenged for the teachers to meet their demands. Understanding learning style preference encourages both students and teachers to continuously update themselves resulting in greater educational satisfaction. Study was performed to find out differences of learning preferences from first to final year physiotherapy students of LJ Institute of physiotherapy, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Total 220 physiotherapy students from all four years were invited to participate in study, out of which 161 students (male: 49, female: 112) voluntarily participated in study. A web-based survey was implemented in this study which included VARK questionnaire and we found 72.7% students have multimodal learning style and kinaesthetic was the preferred sensory modalities of learning for most of the years but final year also showed more aural learning. Most of the male students in our study showed kinaesthetic learning and previous year academic performance also has influence on learning preference. Key words: VARK, learning style, Physiotherapy.
