[Design of Teaching Materials for Pharmaceutical Law Education]

A questionnaire survey was conducted with pharmacy students to obtain useful information for preparing teaching materials in the field of pharmaceutical laws. We conducted a customer satisfaction (CS) analysis by asking pharmacy students to evaluate whether the teaching materials used in the Pharmaceutical Laws class at Kitasato University were effective in promoting learning and understanding. In addition, we asked them about their impressions of attending the Pharmaceutical Laws class and analyzed their freely described answers. The CS analysis suggested teaching materials that included case studies of pharmaceutical law judgments and violations may have been useful for learning this subject. Furthermore, the text analysis showed many of the participants believed the contents of the teaching materials were difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the contents so that learning can progress step by step from the basic items. In addition, since some students recognized that the subject could be memorized, it is possible they can convey only what they remember and not what they had learned or what knowledge they could use in other contexts and situations. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly present the learning objectives for each item in lesson's teaching materials.
