To design an assignment for second-professional year pharmacy students to assess the accuracy and quality of health information published in the news.
Students in a literature evaluation course were assigned a health-related news publication to review and find the original published research article. They then critically evaluated the quality and accuracy of the news publication based on the original research. All students wrote a critique focusing on the quality and accuracy of the news article and potential responses the lay public might have.
Eighty-four percent of students agreed the writing assignment reinforced critical literature evaluation skills, while 90% agreed the assignment contributed to completion of course objectives.
A writing assignment requiring comparison of a news publication to the original research reinforces critical literature evaluation and communication skills, as well as stimulates thought about the accuracy, quality, and public responses to health information published in the news.
为药学专业二年级学生设计一项任务，以评估新闻中发布的健康信息的准确性和质量。
文献评估课程的学生被分配一篇与健康相关的新闻出版物进行审查，并找到最初发表的研究文章。然后，他们根据原始研究批判性地评估新闻出版物的质量和准确性。所有学生都撰写了一篇评论，重点关注新闻文章的质量和准确性以及普通公众可能的反应。
84%的学生认为写作任务强化了批判性文献评估技能，而90%的学生认为该任务有助于实现课程目标。
一项要求将新闻出版物与原始研究进行比较的写作任务强化了批判性文献评估和沟通技能，同时激发了对新闻中发布的健康信息的准确性、质量和公众反应的思考。
