Summary
Pharmacy preceptors found the continuing professional development (CPD) model beneficial for educator growth. This framework, incorporating reflection, planning, and action, helped set clearer goals for students and themselves.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Continuing Professional Development
Background:
- Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) guidelines emphasize preceptors' self-directed continuing professional development (CPD).
- Implementing a structured CPD approach can enhance preceptor effectiveness as educators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To encourage preceptors to utilize ACPE CPD resources.
- To implement and evaluate the CPD framework (reflect, plan, act, evaluate, record) for preceptor development.
- To determine preceptors' opinions on the usefulness, effectiveness, and barriers to implementing the CPD approach.
Main Methods:
- Encouraged 3713 preceptors to undergo CPD training.
- Invited respondents to answer questions regarding the CPD model.
- Analyzed responses from health system/hospital and community/independent pharmacists.
Main Results:
- 90% of preceptors agreed the CPD model is beneficial for their development.
- Preceptors reported the CPD portfolio motivated goal-setting for students, residents, and themselves.
- The model was seen as a valuable tool for managing rotations and improving teaching and learning.
Conclusions:
- The CPD framework is perceived as beneficial and motivating for pharmacy preceptors.
- Implementation of the CPD model can enhance preceptor effectiveness and student learning outcomes.
- The preceptor portfolio serves as a useful tool for structured professional development.

2.4K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...
