Summary
New educational technology and gamification in pharmacy courses did not immediately improve student exam scores or satisfaction compared to traditional methods. Further research is needed to assess long-term impacts of these innovative teaching techniques.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Educational Technology
- Pedagogy
Background:
- Traditional nonprescription products courses may not fully engage students.
- Innovative teaching methods, including educational technology and gamification, are being explored to enhance learning outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare pharmacy students' assessment and evaluation ratings between a newly formatted nonprescription products course and a traditional one.
- To evaluate the impact of educational technology and gamification on student performance and satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of examination scores and course evaluations.
- Students were divided into two groups: one receiving traditional instruction, the other receiving instruction incorporating educational technology and gamification (iBooks).
Main Results:
- Students in the traditional course significantly outperformed the new course group in eight examination categories.
- Students in the new course significantly outperformed the traditional group in four examination categories.
- Student satisfaction was high in both courses, with no significant differences noted regarding the use of gamification and iBooks.
Conclusions:
- Immediate improvements in student examination performance and course satisfaction were not observed with the introduction of new teaching techniques using educational technology.
- The integration of gamification and iBooks may require more time to demonstrate significant benefits in pharmacy education.

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Impact loading occurs when a moving object collides with a stationary structure, such as a rod with a uniform cross-sectional area fixed at one end. Under these conditions, the rod absorbs the kinetic energy from the striking object, leading to deformation and subsequent stress development. As the rod returns to its original position and reaches maximum stress, the absorbed energy, initially manifested as kinetic energy, transforms entirely into strain energy.

Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.

In an experiment conducted during a Mars mission, a rover propels a projectile with an initial velocity, and the projectile rebounds after colliding with the Martian surface. To ascertain the maximum height attained by the projectile after this collision, the known restitution coefficient and acceleration due to gravity are employed.
