Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

586
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Learning Disabilities

739
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Purposive Learning

581
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...

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

657
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Pedagogical Innovations
  • Higher Education Learning

Background:

  • Traditional tutoring models may not fully address diverse student needs in pharmacy programs.
  • Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) offers a complementary approach to enhance student support.
  • The Student Educational Assistance (SEA) program has been integrated into a US pharmacy school for ten years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and sustainability of the SEA peer-assisted learning program.
  • To assess the impact of PAL on Doctor of Pharmacy students' confidence and performance.
  • To explore student perceptions of the SEA program's utility in supplementing their studies.

Main Methods:

  • Administrative data identified the target student population.
  • A Qualtrics survey collected quantitative and qualitative data on student background, learning preferences, and program experiences.
  • Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • A 63.5% survey response rate (113/178) was achieved from students utilizing SEA materials.
  • 81% of respondents reported increased confidence before exams, and 69% perceived improved assessment performance.
  • Qualitative feedback emphasized SEA's role in clarifying knowledge gaps and aiding memorization through active recall.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating diverse PAL modalities into pharmacy curricula can boost student confidence and perceived assessment performance.
  • The analyzed SEA program demonstrates feasibility, effectiveness, and sustainability.
  • PAL programs represent a valuable addition to pharmacy education, supporting student learning beyond traditional methods.
