Development of a Vertically Integrated Pharmacy Degree

Whilst curriculum revision is commonplace, whole degree transformation is less so. In this paper we discuss the rationale, design and implementation of a unique pharmacy program by a research-intensive faculty. The new Monash pharmacy curriculum, which had its first intake in 2017, was built using a range of key innovations that aimed to produce graduates that demonstrate key conceptual understanding and all the skills required to deliver world-best patient outcomes. The key elements of the re-design are outlined and include the process and principles developed, as well as key features such as a student-centred individualised program of development arranged around specific, authentic tasks for each skill and earlier enhanced experiential placements where students become proficient in entrustable professional activities. It is hoped the dissemination of this process, as well as the lessons learnt in the process, will be useful to others looking to transform a health curriculum.

Analisis Kesulitan Soal Pemecahan Masalah Pada Buku Sekolah Elektronik (BSE) Pelajaran Matematika Kurikulum 2013 revisi 2017

This study aims to analyze and describe the level of difficulty of solving mathematical problems in terms of the components of the problem: type of problem, type of number, type of operation, many operations, many questions, sufficiency of data, and similarity with previous questions and difficulty level of problem solving questions in the Electronic School Book (BSE) Mathematics for Senior High School (SMA) class X 2013 curriculum revision of 2017. This research uses literature review or literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection methods used were the determination of mathematics teaching materials/textbooks; determination of problem-solving items contained in the competency test. The data analysis technique uses the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed: 1) There are 18% problem solving questions or 20 questions out of 109 total questions; 2) Type of problem solving 55% routine and 45% nonroutine; 2) the dominant number type of whole number is 60%; 3) More types of operations use multiplication operations as much as 90%; 4) Many dominant operations use more than one operation as much as 100%; 5) Many dominant questions use one question as much as 70%; 6) Has sufficient complete data as much as 75%; 7) As many as 60% of the questions were not similar to the previous questions. So that the problem solving questions in the School Electronic Book (BSE) class X SMA are categorized as having an Easy difficulty level.
