Creative Thinking01:25

Creative Thinking

447
Creative thinking encompasses innovative and unconventional methods for addressing challenges, often leading to groundbreaking solutions. Instead of focusing solely on enhancing existing systems, such as increasing smartphone battery capacity, creative thinking might inspire advancements like energy-efficient batteries or processors that minimize power consumption. This multidimensional approach underscores the importance of exploring novel pathways to innovation.
Divergent thinking is the...

Critical Thinking01:19

Critical Thinking

82
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.
Colleges and universities are...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

26
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

220
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.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

181
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Educational Innovation

Background:

  • Continuous quality improvement in professional pharmacy curricula presents complex challenges.
  • A structured problem-solving framework is needed to engage faculty and students effectively.
  • Design thinking provides a methodology for creative problem-solving and managing ambiguity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of the design thinking process to revise a professional didactic curriculum.
  • To identify key success factors, challenges, and solutions encountered during the curriculum revision.
  • To demonstrate how design thinking can lead to a successful and transparent curricular overhaul.

Main Methods:

  • Applied the 5 phases of the design thinking process to curriculum revision.
  • Documented challenges faced and strategies employed in each phase.
  • Facilitated faculty and student engagement throughout the iterative design process.

Main Results:

  • Successfully revised the professional didactic curriculum, resulting in an approved new plan of study.
  • Design thinking fostered transparency, trust, and democratized communication among participants.
  • Overcame challenges in each of the 5 design thinking phases through specific interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Design thinking is an effective framework for complex curriculum improvement in pharmacy education.
  • The revised curriculum implementation requires ongoing alignment strategies.
  • A recurring, scaled-down design thinking process can facilitate continuous curriculum assessment and refinement.
