Currents in Pharmacy Teaching & Learning
|June 23, 2019
Summary
Pharmacy educators should foster student curiosity, moving beyond rote memorization. Encouraging exploratory questions and creative problem-solving enhances academic and professional development.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Educational Psychology
Background:
- Student engagement is often limited to exam preparation, neglecting scholarly inquiry.
- The digital age's information accessibility may diminish the drive for deep learning and questioning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the importance of curiosity in pharmacy education.
- To prompt discussion on cultivating curiosity in students.
Main Methods:
- This is a commentary, posing questions for educators.
- It suggests a focus on screening for, promoting, and developing student curiosity.
Main Results:
- Curiosity is linked to positive academic and professional outcomes.
- The construct of curiosity is underrepresented in educational literature.
Conclusions:
- Pharmacy educators must intentionally design curricula to promote curiosity.
- Further discussion and research are needed to integrate curiosity into pharmacy programs.

01:25Glycolysis: Pay-off Phase
12.0K
So far, glycolysis has cost the cell two ATP molecules and produced two small, three-carbon sugar molecules. These molecules will proceed through the second half of the pathway, and sufficient energy will be extracted to pay back the two ATP molecules used as an initial investment and produce a profit for the cell of two additional ATP molecules and two even higher-energy NADH molecules.

01:31Student t Distribution
13.6K
The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

01:25Microsoft Excel: Student's t-Test
1.6K
Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.

01:09Comparing Experimental Results: Student's t-Test
5.2K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

01:30Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
834
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

5.5K
In parametric statistics, two fundamental tests stand out for their utility and wide application: the Student's t-test and goodness-of-fit tests. These tests provide researchers with a robust method for drawing insights from data, testing hypotheses, and making informed decisions based on their findings.
