Currents in pharmacy teaching & learning

|January 9, 2026

要旨

Introduction:

Online resource delivery can offer an alternative to paper-based teaching materials. It is currently unclear how such resources could be integrated into pharmaceutical science laboratory sessions. In this study, we reviewed pharmacy student perspectives towards utilising an online platform in place of a physical manual for pharmaceutical science laboratory instruction.

Objectives:

To understand the differences in students' perceptions towards using paper-based versus online manuals in pharmaceutical science laboratory sessions.

Methods:

Invitations were sent to all second-year Bachelor of Pharmacy students at the University of Auckland to complete questionnaires at two discrete times. Participants were asked questions to understand their perceptions towards the laboratory manual being paper-based at collection point one versus online at collection point two. Likert-scale data was analysed using a Mann-Whitney U test while open-ended comments were analysed thematically.

Results:

80 students completed the questionnaires at each data collection point. Whilst there was apprehension prior to the implementation of the online pharmaceutical manual, positive perceptions were evident after implementation. Notably, online manuals were perceived as easier to navigate and allowed more independent work by students than paper-based manuals. The open-ended responses fit into four major themes: practicality, sustainability, resource and learning. These themes noted advantages and challenges to both ways in which the manual was delivered as well as suggestions for future improvements.

Conclusion:

Despite the greater interactivity and independent learning offered by the online manual, there remains some apprehension towards a move away from traditional paper-based manuals. Student priming towards new resources is essential to maximise their benefit.

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the appropriate...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
