Problem-based learning (PBL) teaching influenced pharmacy students' learning styles, increasing avoidance and decreasing participation. While collaborative scores remained high, adaptation challenges were noted.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Medical Pedagogy

Background:

  • Traditional didactic teaching methods are common in pharmacy education.
  • Problem-based learning (PBL) offers an alternative pedagogical approach.
  • Understanding student learning style adaptation is crucial for effective PBL implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in second-year pharmacy students' learning styles after a semester of PBL.
  • To examine the relationship between learning style scores and demographic variables.
  • To evaluate the impact of PBL on student learning preferences.

Main Methods:

  • The Grasha-Reichmann Student Learning Style Scale (GRSLSS) was administered.
  • Data collected from pharmacotherapy laboratory students before and after PBL.

  • Analysis focused on changes in learning style scores (e.g., avoidant, participant, collaborative).

    • Main Results:

    • Students predominantly scored high in the 'collaborative' learning style.
    • A significant increase in the 'avoidant' mean score was observed post-PBL (p <= 0.05).
    • A significant decrease in the 'participant' mean score was observed post-PBL (p <= 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • PBL may align with some learning preferences but can also induce significant learning style shifts.
    • Observed changes suggest potential difficulties in adapting from didactic to PBL environments.
    • Challenges in group participation within PBL may contribute to altered learning styles.
